Ramen Noodle Salad with Chicken

Step 1

Boil a pot of water. Add the ramen noodles & remove from the heat. Set aside for 3-4 min until fully cooked. Drain & rinse the noodles in cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken dry & add it to the pan. Season with salt & pepper. Sear 4-5 min on the first side, then flip over. Season the second side & sear until fully cooked, about 5-6 more min. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board to rest.

Step 3

Wash & dry the lettuce. Slice into 1/4-inch shreds.

Step 4

Rinse & dry the scallions. Thinly slice.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce & rice vinegar. If you have toasted sesame oil, add a few drops per serving. Mix it all together.

Step 6

Slice the chicken into strips.

Step 7

Add the peanuts to a plastic bag. Use the back of a cup to crush the nuts into small bits.

Step 8

Add the noodles to a dish. Top with shredded lettuce, scallions & chili sauce. Toss well to evenly coat. Arrange the sliced chicken on top with more sauce & crushed peanuts. Serve & enjoy!
