Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad

What do you do with an entire head of cabbage? Invite over some friends and make this treat then make coleslaw out of the cabbage leftovers.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup chicken broth
Chicken breasts (one per person)
Snow peas (as many as you like in your salad)
Head of green cabbage
Head of red cabbage
Sliced mushrooms
Grated carrots
Chopped green onions
Peanuts
Sesame seeds
Crunchy Chow Mein noodles
Ingredients for Asian Dressing (see separate post)

DIRECTIONS:
Cook chicken either by baking or lightly frying or grilling. Choose your favorite method for cooking flavorful chicken. Make sure the pieces you use are thin.

Simmer the snow peas in chicken broth until tender (3 - 4 min) then remove and place in cold water. Set aside.

Chop cabbage into thin shreds and place in a bowl (green and purple).

Place all salad ingredients into individual bowls. Provide tongs and another bowl for individual salad tossing.

Reduce broth to 1/3 (10 min or so). Transfer to bowl and cool. Make Asian dressing then whisk in reserved broth.

Hand out plates and forks and enjoy!!!!
