Chinese Chicken Salad

I made this tonight and was astonished.  No oil, no crispy wontons... it was perfect.  My fiance ate it all without hardly saying a word.  We are 60 days away from saying I do...  and I have 15 pounds to go.  No doubt I will get it done.


  • 1 small head of cabbage
  • 2 thin cut chicken breasts, cooked & chopped
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • Fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons liquid aminos (you can use low sodium soy sauce)
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Sriacha to taste
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • Truvia (sugar substitute)

  1. Spray pan with cooking spray.  Salt and pepper both sides of chicken breasts.
  2. Add chicken to skillet, and brown both sides. Add lemon juice.   Remove from skillet, and cut up into chunks
  3. Chop cabbage, and add to bowl.  Add chopped onions, ginger, & garlic.
  4. Combine chicken, apple cider vinegar, aminos, red pepper & sriacha.  
  5. Chill for at least an hour
Make sure you taste it.  I added the Truvia at the last minute, and it made all the difference.  Asian food is my absolute favorite... and this was a nice way to not overload myself with oil and carbs.  If you aren't low carb, try some crispy wontons.  Amazing.
