Want a main course salad without fussy steps? Stir-fry sauce doubles as dressing in this Asian-inspired cabbage, spinach, and chicken combo.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb uncooked chicken breast strips for stir-frying
  • 3/4 cup Oriental dressing and marinade
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups thinly sliced Chinese (napa) cabbage
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions (4 medium)
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped dry-roasted peanuts

Directions

  1. In medium bowl, mix chicken and 1/4 cup of the dressing; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes to marinate.
  2. In 8-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Remove chicken from marinade with slotted spoon and add to skillet; discard remaining marinade. Cook and stir chicken 4 to 6 minutes or until browned and no longer pink in center. Remove from heat. Add remaining 1/2 cup dressing; stir to mix.
  3. Divide cabbage and spinach among 4 serving plates. Top with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with onions and peanuts. If desired, serve with additional dressing.
