Here is how you make Chinese Chicken Salad:

Preheat oven to 350°Place chicken breast on a sheet pan and rub with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 -40 minutes. Set aside to cool. When cooled enough to handle, shred chicken into large bite size pieces. Blanch the asparagus in a pot of boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes until crisp-tender. Plunge into iced water to stop the cooking. Drain. Cut the peppers into strips/ bite size pieces. Combine the chicken, peppers, asparagus, snow peas, and water chestnuts in a large bowl. Whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing and pour over the chicken and vegetables. Add the scallions and sesame seeds and Chow Mein Noodles when ready to serve. (NOTE: Can all be done the night before, except the toppings and putting the dressing on.)Makes 20-25 servingsNumber of Servings: 25Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JEANBARCLAY.
