    Asian Kiwi Chicken Salad


    Source of Recipe


    Marla

    List of Ingredients




    3/4 pounds skinless, boneless cooked chicken breast
    2 teaspoons grated lime zest
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    2 tablespoons honey
    2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    8 cups (loosely packed) Romaine lettuce
    2 kiwi peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
    1/2 cup canned sliced water chestnuts, rinsed and drained
    1/4 cup sliced scallions

    Recipe



    Steam the chicken until cooked through (10 to 12 minutes). Transfer
    to a plate and cool. Reserve any juices that collect on the plate.
    (Note: You can also use leftover chicken for this.) In a small bowl
    combine the lime zest, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, ginger and any
    reserved chicken juices. Pour 1/3 cup of this dressing over the
    chicken slices and set aside to marinate for at least an hour.

    Line individual plates with shredded lettuce. Arrange the kiwi and
    water chestnut slices around the outside and mound the chicken in the
    center and sprinkle with scallions. Drizzle the remaining dressing
    over the salad (including any left in the bowl in which the chicken
    was marinating).
