Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts, cooked and cut up
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 4 ounces rice sticks, popped in hot oil or use deep fried wantons
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon accent
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoons white vinegar

Directions

  1. Stir sugar, salt, accent, pepper and vinegar over low heat until sugar is dissolved.

  2. Add 1/2 cup oil and blend.

  3. Cook chicken breasts and cut into bite sized pieces.

  4. Marinate in 1/2 of the salad dressing for a few hours.

  5. Toast almonds and seeds on cookie sheet (with edges) in a 300 degree oven.

  6. (Note: Stay with them watching constantly and stirring frequently. Take out nuts and seeds as soon as they start to turn brown. They are extremely easy to burn. It only takes a few minutes.)

  7. Pop rice sticks in hot oil (oil should be hot enough that rice sticks puff up within a second or two of reaching the oil. Remove immediately from oil and drain on paper towels) or deep-fry wantons.

  8. Toss all ingredients together, using dressing as needed.

  9. Serve immediately.
