Lemon Chicken Chia Ramen Salad A fun new spin on chicken salad! Chicken salad gets a refreshing twist of lemon and an Asian spin with ramen noodles! With three basic steps, this salad is easy to make, but sure to impress. A bed of fresh greens, combined with ramen noodles and crispy chicken is made extra delicious by the light healthy dressing. First, cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes. To prepare the marinate, combine the lemonade concentrate, and lemon juice. Place the cubes into a low covered dish to marianate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Marinating longer may result in a stronger flavor, if desired. Once the chicken has marinated, roll it in the chicken seasoning mixture until each piece is thoroughly coated. Pour vegetable oil into a wok (or skillet), and heat until tiny bubbles form at the bottom. When the oil is hot, carefully place in the dredged chicken pieces. Cook until crisp and brown on the exterior, about 1 minute, and turn with a spoon. Once the pieces are cooked, set aside on a paper towel to drain. To prepare the dressing, combine the thawed lemonade concentrate, mustard, lemon zest, white wine vinager, and MySeeds Chia gel in a bowl. Whisk until combined. Add the oil in small portions, whisking quickly. This helps break up the oil, and the chia gel will thicken the dressing. To prepare the plates, place the mixed greens in a bed, and top them with the ramen noodles. Place the crispy chicken pieces on top of the noodles and sprinkle on some of the raisins. Place on the cucumber strips, and pour the dressing over the top. What You'll Need... Chicken Seasoning... Lemon Dressing...
