Asian Sesame Chicken Salad/Dressing

Place 6-7 boneless skinless chicken breasts into the crock pot

Mix together 1 recipe of Asian Sesame Salad Dressing and pour over the chicken:

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tsp garlic or 1-2 minced cloves
1 TBSP sugar or 1/2 TBSP honey
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or LOW for 6-7 hours.

We scoop out the chicken to cool and serve on top of green salad along with:

toasted slivered almonds
toasted sesame seeds
mandarin oranges or pineapple
Asian Sesame Salad Dressing (recipe is above for this)

*The great part about this recipe is that I can make a batch of rice to go with this meal and the ENTIRE family is happy. The dressing was slightly salty, I will probably use low sodium soy sauce the next time I make it.

Green Goddess Salad Dressing

4 scallions or 1 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
Juice from 2 limes (or 1/4 cup of bottled lime juice)
1 tsp sugar (optional)

Trim the ends of the scallions of you're using those. Roughly chop the white and green parts and place in a blender. Chop until coarsely ground.

Add the mayonnaise and lime juice and puree until smooth. Dressing will store in the fridge for a week in a sealed container.

Lemon-Garlic Salad Dressing

2 TBSP lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
salt and pepper
6 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil

Place the lemon juice, garlic and salt and pepper to taste into a mixing cup. Add the olive oil in a slow stream, constantly whisking until the oil is emulsified OR mix it all in the Magic Bullet blender. (this is quicker)
