Mandarin Chicken Salad

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
The crispy and fruity chicken salad is refreshing served for lunch, dinner or a potluck supper—either warm or cold. For an easy change of pace, I suggest using a bottled salad dressing.—Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 cup chow mein noodles
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Directions

  • 1. In a skillet, combine chicken, water, vinegar, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon oil, soy sauce and bouillon. Cook and stir over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is tender and liquid has evaporated.
