MANDARIN CHICKEN PASTA SALAD



Mandarin Chicken Pasta Salad image

I had this at a party and couldn't get it off my mind. It's a fruity Asian chicken salad that even my family's picky eaters enjoy. I bake my own chicken for more flavor, which adds to the prep time, but pre-cooked or canned chicken will also work just fine.

Asian chicken slaw with pasta is a perfect dish for summer days, picnics and potlucks. It’s refreshing, filling and rich in flavor. Asian cuisine is known for its aromatic, tangy, and spicy flavors. The chicken slaw with pasta recipe showcases these flavors perfectly. The slaw is a mix of crunchy vegetables like cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, etc., tossed in a tangy dressing and some peanuts. The chicken is cooked with aromatic spices and served with peanut sauce.

Tip 1: Choose the right pasta

The pasta you use for chicken slaw plays a significant role in the overall taste and texture of the dish. Choose a shorter pasta shape like fusilli or penne. Choose a pasta that doesn't have a lot of ridges or curves, so the slaw dressing clings well to it.

Tip 2: Cook the chicken perfectly

Cooking the chicken for the recipe is the most crucial step. Overcooked chicken is dry and chewy, while undercooked chicken can be raw and unsafe to consume. Bake or grill the chicken with aromatic spices such as garlic, ginger, soy sauce or sesame oil for additional flavor. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer.

Tip 3: Use the right vegetables

For chicken slaw, it's best to use vegetables that are crunchy and flavorful. Vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, cucumber, carrots, bell peppers, or radishes work well. Slice the vegetables thinly, so they're easy to mix with the pasta. You can also add some herbs like cilantro or basil to the slaw to enhance the flavor.

Tip 4: Make the dressing tasty

The dressing for the chicken slaw should be tangy and slightly sweet. You can make the dressing using ingredients like vinegar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, or garlic. Mix the ingredients well in a small bowl before tossing them with the vegetables and pasta. Taste the dressing before pouring it onto the slaw, and add more seasoning if needed.

Tip 5: Serve with peanut sauce

The chicken slaw can be served with peanut sauce. The peanut sauce adds an extra layer of flavor to the dish. You can make the peanut sauce using peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, or hoisin sauce. Mix the ingredients in a small bowl until the sauce is smooth and pourable. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken slaw before serving.

Conclusion

Asian chicken slaw with pasta is a perfect summer dish. It's refreshing, flavorful, and easy to make. Use these tips to make the perfect chicken slaw. Choose the right pasta, cook the chicken perfectly, use the right vegetables, make the dressing tasty, and serve with peanut sauce.
