Applebee’s Oriental Chicken Salad

May 10, 2011 by mandyrecipebox

This copycat Applebee’s Oriental Chicken Salad tastes EXACTLY like the real thing. Make it at home any time you want, it’s so easy!

Copycat Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad
I crave this salad. All the time. I decided to find a recipe to it so I could have it whenever I wanted and also save money. I did it and it tastes exactly like the real thing. Trust me. I am a bit of a food snob so I know my stuff. I hope I’ve made one of you just as ecstatic as I now am. This makes enough dressing for 2 people.  I like to make the dressing and keep it in the fridge and use it on individual salads.

Author: Mandy Bird
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • Oriental Dressing
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • 1½ Tbsp. Rice Vinegar (the white one)
  • ¼ c. Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
  • ⅛ tsp. Sesame oil
  • Salad
  • 2 pieces of Tyson's Crispy Chicken Strips
  • bagged salad with romaine lettuce, carrots, and cabbage
  • bagged coleslaw cabbage
  • 1 Tbsp. sliced almonds
  • ¼ c. Chow Mein noodles
Directions
  1. Blend together all dressing ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk or mixer. Refrigerate while you work on the salad.
  2. Bake the chicken strips according to the package directions. At the last few minutes, add the almonds on the pan that the chicken is on so they can get toasted.
  3. Remove and cool. Cut up the chicken.
  4. Mix together some of each of the lettuce and coleslaw. Top with cut up chicken, almonds & noodles. Drizzle the dressing on top.

    That salad looks so good! I am all about salads right now:-) I think that is so sweet that your hubby would take you that far for salad…but that is cool the top secret recipe tastes just the same. Better for the gas tank:-)

    It&#39;s always the dressing that is the key, isn&#39;t it? If the dressing ain&#39;t good on a salad, then nothing will taste right. This one sounds so good. I love these secret restaurant recipes..LOL.<br />Thanks for this – I got it bookmarked!

    Oh that dressing sounds good!! You are making me crave a chicken salad with breaded chicken. I have a chinese chicken salad at my site you would probably love (check my recipe page)…but the chicken is not breaded. But the dressing IS So good! <br /><br />Thanks for hosting! I&#39;m sharing an EASY stovetop chicken parm pasta. I love that I don&#39;t have to heat my house up in the summer, and

    I made this salad the other night. It did not disappoint…we loved it!! My husband, who puts ranch on everything, said it&#39;s his new favorite dressing. Thanks so much for sharing!

    I am so thankful I found your site. I made this for a large group, my family, some that don&#39;t like salads too much, there were 10 of us, and I made a big batch and there wasn&#39;t even a piece of cabbage or almond left in the bowl. It was sooo good. Then just today I ordered Applebee&#39;s version of it, and it didn&#39;t even come close to tasting as good as the one I made. I love this

    This salad was wonderful, I had never had Applebee&#39;s because I always get the Santa Fe Chicken Salad (how about a recipe for that). I really enjoyed the Oriental Chicken Salad and so did my husband, he especially liked the dressing. So easy using frozen chicken. This one is a keeper. Thanks.

    Sheila- I found that recipe for you here:<br />http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/Applebees-Santa-Fe-Chicken-Salad-Recipe.html<br /><br />But you have to buy it for 79 cents. Thanks for your comment. The dressing really makes the salad, doesn&#39;t it?

    I have never tried this salad, but if it is worth driving and hour for, then it must be really good! You should come and enter my cookbook giveaway! http://eatcakefordinner.blogspot.com/2011/07/30-minute-rolls-and-giveaway.html

    This recipe is delicious and very easy. I used a rotisserie chicken to make it even more easy and healthier. I also used Hellman&#39;s light mayo to cut down on calories. Delicious!!
