Questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts in Asian Chicken Salad?

Yes. Boneless thighs at the same weight are more forgiving and stay juicier. Give them two to four minutes longer; they are at their best around 175 F rather than 165 F. As written, the entry for Asian Chicken Salad uses 2 cooked chicken breast, shredded.

Can I make Asian Chicken Salad gluten-free?

Not cleanly. 1/2 cup crispy wonton strips has no substitute that behaves the same way in this dish. If you need strictly gluten-free, start from the gluten-free salad collection instead.

Does Asian Chicken Salad contain tree nuts?

Yes: 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, tree nuts and sesame. Where the nuts are a garnish or a texture, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds stand in. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How many calories are in Asian Chicken Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 340 calories, with 18 g protein, 24 g carbohydrate and 12 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 420 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Asian Chicken Salad keep?

The base of Asian Chicken Salad is carrots, which holds up: it keeps three to four days refrigerated and tastes better after a few hours, once the dressing has soaked in. Hold back a spoonful of dressing to freshen it before serving. Add the almonds at the table so it stays crisp. It does not freeze.
