Aunt J's Chinese Chicken Salad

Aunt J (not to be confused with MIL J) created a wonderful Chinese chicken salad. This is a great light meal that, for whatever reason, keeps you pretty well full. It's perfect for during summer because it's chilled and you can cook the chicken at any point during the day (aka early morning) so you don't have to heat up the house late in the day.

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 Min
Cook Time: 10 Min
Total Time: 20 Min

Ingredients:

1/2 Head Cabbage
3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

1/4 Cup sugar
2 Tbs soy sauce
2 packages ORIENTAL Top Ramen
1/2 Cup Sunflower seeds
1/4 Cup sesame seeds
Sliced almonds
2 Tbs Butter

Dressing

Mix oil, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and ONE packet of oriental seasoning from Top Ramen in a bowl

Topping

Crumble both packages of Top Ramen (best achieved by banging on it with fists on a counter top while still sealed)
Put in a saute pan with sunflower seeds, almonds, and sesame seeds
Add 2 Tbs of butter to pan and brown topping for about 10 min

Put It Together

Shred cabbage and add shredded chicken
