Asian chicken salad

MAKES 5 SERVINGS

1 cup Wish-Bone Asian sesame dressing

and marinade

1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

1-1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken

breast halves

8 cups mixed salad greens

4 ounces sugar snap peas or snow peas

1/3 cup chopped scallions

1 cup shredded carrot

Chinese chow mien noodles

In a small bowl, combine dressing and brown sugar. Place chicken in a nonreactive (ceramic, glass, plastic) dish or bowl and pour 1/2 cup of the dressing mixture over chicken; turn to coat. Cover chicken and place in refrigerator to marinate for up to 3 hours, turning once. Cover remaining 1/2 cup dressing and place in refrigerator.

Remove chicken from marinade and discard the used marinade. Grill or broil chicken, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink, about 10 minutes per side depending on thickness of chicken breast.

On serving platter, arrange salad greens, sugar snap peas, scallions and carrots. Slice chicken and arrange over salad mixture. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup of refrigerated dressing mix. Garnish with crunchy chow mien noodles.
