Asian Chicken Salad

Salad:                                                                     Dressing:
2 chicken breasts                                              1/8 c soy sauce
1 head leaf lettuce                                             1/8 c rice vinegar
1/2 bunch green onions                                 1/4 c oil
1 large can mandarin oranges in juice      1/8 c ginger ale
chow mein noodles

Poach chicken in enough water to cover. Meanwhile, wash and drain lettuce, drain mandarins (reserve a splash of juice for dressing), and thinly slice onions. Place soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and juice to a shaker. When chicken is cooked and cool enough to handle, shred. Tear lettuce into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Add mandarins, onions and chicken. Just before serving, add ginger ale to dressing, shake to combine, and pour over salad. Toss to coat lettuce. Serve with chow mein noodles.

Makes 4 meal-size portions.
