directions

  • Mix marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Place chicken in slow cooker and pour marinade over chicken, coating each piece well.
  • Cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. (Depending on how large your chicken breast are. Mine were small and were done in 5 1/2 hours on low).
  • Remove chicken from slow cooker and cool.
  • Reserve juices and place in a small sauce pan and simmer for 5 minutes then strain if desired. (I didn't strain it but you might want to if you have excess residual.).
  • Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients with 1/2 cup of the juice from the slow cooker.
  • In a large serving bowl toss together the shredded chicken, lettuce, carrots, peanuts, cilantro, and noodles.
  • Just before serving, drizzle with the salad dressing.
  • Toss well and serve.

  1. This was very tasty, however a little too spicy for us. I think next time we will use less red pepper flakes. We also think next time we will cut down on the cilantro since it seemed to be a little overwhelming for our tastes. Instead of chicken breasts, I used grilled chicken strips which made it easy for putting it with a salad. Overall very refreshing salad on a hot summer night. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Really delicious salad. The marinaded chicken is absolutely wonderful. I had not used Maifun before and really liked it in this dish. I did cut the red pepper flakes back to 1 teaspoon as I knew it would be too hot for me to use the full amount.
     
  3. WOW ! This was sooo good, I couldn't get enough! Followed recipe exactly except I used cabbage and romaine lettuce and topped it with some LaChoy chow mein noodles. I had leftovers and made a wrap with it and that too was fabulous! I will definately be making this alot.
     
  4. This was a hit with my family tonight. The marindade was really yummy, however a bit too much red pepper flakes for me. I also left off the peanuts because of alergies but used seseme seeds instead. I wasnt sure about the cilantro but it was fit really nicely with this salad. I will be making this one again. Nice light dinner for watching the calories.
     
  5. I love this salad! I scaled this down a bit to serve me and my mother with great results. The marinade was excellent for the chicken too. I did not do this recipe in the slow cooker tho so I baked them at 375 F for about 20 or so minutes. Since I did not slow cook the chicken I dont think the marinade thickened enough, so I had to simmer the leftover marinade for quite sometime to get it to a proper consistency. Over all a great recipe I plan on making again.

  2. This was so great. The chicken had a great flavor. I used tenderlions and I put in the crock frozen and cooked for 8 hrs on low. The dressing was great and very easy. I used slivered almonds instead of peanuts and I used a package of ramen noodles instead of the maifun. I have leftovers in a wrap today with dressing for dipping. YUMM!

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
