Preparation

Step 1

Grill chicken breasts, by first placing into plastic wrap and gently pounding them to aobut 3/8 of an inch thick. If you have a grill, you can use a grill to cook your chicken breasts. You can also cook the chicken breasts in a skillet, add olive oil to a skillet and heat on medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side. Place fully cooked chicken breasts onto a plate and allow to rest for 4-5 minutes before slicing.

Toast almonds by placing in a small skillet over medium heat, watch almonds carefully, there is a fine line between toasted almonds and burnt almonds. Shake pan gently and when you begin to smell the almonds, they are toasting, allow them to toast for a few seconds more and immediately place almonds onto a paper towel and allow them to cool for a moment or two.

Assemble salads by first putting down the lettuce. I use about 3-4 cups of lettuce, add the shredded carrot, 1/4 cup crispy rice noodles, 1/4 cup toasted almonds and then place on sliced chicken. Serve with plenty of the Applebee's Oriental Salad Dressing.
