Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad (copycat)

Serves 4

Honey Oriental Dressing

6 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/4 tsp sesame oil



For the Salad

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 cup cornflake crumbs
salt and pepper

2 chicken breasts

3 cups vegetable oil, for frying

6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup chopped red cabbage
1 cup chopped napa cabbage
2 carrot, shredded
2 green onion, chopped
1/2 cucumber, chopped
2 Tbsp slivered almonds

Instructions

Blend together all ingredients for the dressing. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Preheat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want the oil at about 350 degrees F, (or test the oil by putting a small piece of torn bread into the pot and if the bread sizzles, it's ready, if it just floats there, it's not.)

In a small bowl beat the egg and milk together. In another bowl combine the flour, cornflake crumbs and salt and pepper.

Cut chicken breast into several long thin strips. Dip the strips in the egg mixture, and then into the flour mixture, coating completely. Add chicken strips to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes or until cooked through and coating is dark golden brown.

Prepare the salad: Combine the romaine, red cabbage, napa cabbage, carrots, onions and cucumber.

Add chicken pieces on top and sprinkle with almonds. Serve with the honey oriental dressing!

*note: I used chicken tenderloins and also added crispy oriental rice noodles to the salad.

Nicely composed. I feel it suffers from lack of sharpness.

I think the focus is a little soft.

although this dish does look yummy I didn't give a high vote: unfortunately the food isn't in focus but the pad underneath the plate is
