Vietnamese Chicken Salad with Miracle Noodles
Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- 3 serrano peppers
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 4 tablespoons fish sauce
- 6 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
For the Salad:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 oz. Miracle Noodles
- 4 large carrots, peeled
- 8-10 full leaves of green cabbage
one large handful of each -- cilantro leaves, mint leaves, and green onions
Directions
Dressing: Thinly slice the Serrano peppers and set aside. Pulse all the remaining dressing ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the sliced Serrano.
Chicken: Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. When the water reaches a rolling boil, add the chicken breasts, turn heat off and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Let the chicken cook for 25-30 minutes (while it's cooking, you can prep the other ingredients). Remove from water, let cool slightly and shred with two forks. Pour a small amount of the prepared dressing on the chicken to give it flavor and set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
Noodles: Rinse the Miracle Noodles well while they are in a colander and dry well. You will want to absorb any extra water with a paper or kitchen towel. Enjoy as many noodles as you desire because they have zero carbohydrates and zero calories!
Veggies: Cut the carrots into pieces and pulse in a food processor for 10-15 seconds until finely chopped. Shred the cabbage. Mince the cilantro, mint and green onions.
Assembly: Toss the chicken, noodles, vegetables and remaining dressing together (to taste). Serve immediately and enjoy eating hCG -friendly!
