Oriental Chicken Salad with Todd and the Colonel

Applebee’s Oriental Chicken Salad? Yummmm! But instead of running to Applebee’s I learned long ago to use Todd Wilbur’s Top Secret Recipes knock-off recipe instead. AND now I’ve recruited the Colonel to help out as well. That is the KFC Colonel.

I know you can Google Applebee’s Oriental Chicken Salad and get the “original knock-off” recipe, so what I’m sharing with you is my version.. through years of practice.
Enjoy!

My Oriental Chicken Salad

With Todd and the Colonel’s help…

Dressing:

I always triple this recipe because I make enough salad for two-three meals

3 Tbsp. honey

1 ½ Tbsp. rice wine vinegar

¼ c. mayonnaise

1 tsp. Grey Poupon Dijon mustard

1/8 tsp. sesame oil – small amount but it does make a difference

Salad:

I triple this too!

3 c. chopped romaine lettuce

1 c. chopped red cabbage

1 c. chopped Napa cabbage

½ carrot, julienned or shredded

1 green onion, chopped

1 Tbsp. sliced almonds - or more

1/3 c. crispy chow mein noodles

Chicken:

½ Original Spice KFC Chicken breast

We remove the skin and crust, but you can leave it if you prefer.

Bon Appetit, Y'all!
