Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and pulled into bite sized pieces
1 tbsp canola or olive oil
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1 orange pepper, chopped
2 green onion, chopped
1 large orange, peeled with a knife, quartered and sliced
¼ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Leaf lettuce leaves, Romaine lettuce leaves or kale leaves, washed and dried completely
Dipping Sauce
4 tablespoons natural almond butter (or natural peanut butter)
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
4 teaspoons soy sauce
3 teaspoons honey
Dash hot sauce
Hot water
Directions
1. Mix poultry, peas, pepper, green onion, orange, almonds and cilantro in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, combine almond butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey and hot sauce.
3. Add 2 tablespoons hot water and stir well. If sauce is too thick, add another tablespoon hot water. Continue until the sauce has the consistency of a thick salad dressing.
4. Use 2 tablespoons of the sauce as dressing for the poultry mix. Toss gently to combine.
5. Separate remaining dipping sauce into an individual bowl or ramekin for each person.
