Thai Chicken Salad- Emily Brady



Thia Chicken Salad

1 lb spaghetti
1 bunch baby spinach
6-8 stalks green onions, sliced
½ c crushed peanuts
1lb chicken breast, roasted and diced
*I marinade my chicken breast for 6-8 hrs in ¼ cup soy sauce, 3 T olive oil, 1 t ginger, 1 T lemon juice, 1 t red pepper flakes, ½ t black pepper. Then I roast the chicken on 350, covered with foil, until juices run clear (about 45-60 min). Marinade is optional and not part of this recipe but I like the chicken to be extra flavorful.

Dressing
½ c sugar
¾ c soy sauce
¼ c rice wine vinegar
½ olive oil
½ T crushed red pepper  *full T for extra spicy
2 T sesame seeds

When spaghetti is done, pour dressing over immediately. Stir in chicken, spinach, green onion and peanuts. You can serve this salad hot or cold. If serving cold, allow to refrigerate for 2 hrs.
