MANDARIN TOSSED CHICKEN SALAD WITH CASHEW DRESSING FOR 1
Well yasee I had this uncooked half chicken breast left from yesterdays experiments. Also the temperature is all ready in the mid 80s and upward bound. A souped up chicken salad seemed like a good idea for a main dish. I use my WOK a lot, particularly when it's hot out. I invented a chopped cashew salad dressing for this sort of thing some time back. It's rather good for fruit type salads . So Here we go, written as I fix it. A lot of my recipes are done this way typing notes into textpad as I work/invent.(Grynn)This is a BIG serving salad main dish or there's enough chicken for 2.

Steps:
- Fire up the WOK and chow the chicken chunks until cooked through and set aside.
- Remember this time it will have no additional cooking.
- If you have cooked chicken use it.
- A Woolfe Tip, when B&Schicken breasts are cheap, I chunk, WOK, and vac-bag freeze for later use.
- Put all the dressing ingredients in a blender or small food processor and ZAP until blended.
- I throw the cashews in as is, as I buy the pieces it's a lot cheaper that way.
- You can do both the Chicken and dressing ahead of time.
- Tear up the greens into a bowl.
- Add the orange segments and cooled chicken.
- Toss with the dressing.
- I had this with some torn off bread.

Steps:
- I recommend baked chicken for the salad. Heat oven to 350 degrees - sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, then after it's cooled a bit, chop chicken and sprinkle with olive oil (if I have chicken with skin, I skip the oil). Bake until done then after it's cooled a bit, chop chicken.
- After you have cooked the chicken, combine the first 5 ingredients; stir well. Cover and chill.
- Add mayonnaise, grapes, oranges, and almonds to chicken mixture; toss well. Serve on lettuce. Garnish with additional orange slices and grape clusters, if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
