I made your Chinese Chicken Salad to take to my daughter's volleyball tournament last Saturday. The parents of the players bring food for an all day food frenzy between games. The team loved it and all of the mothers requested a copy of this recipe. Thanks!

a flavorful, easy dish. I could not find the Good seaonings dressing so I used a Zaar recipe, 75441. It called for cooking the chicken in the marinade, but what I did was to take the chicken out of the marinade and cook the chicken strips in a little olive oil. The marinade that was still on the chicken, carmalized and gave the chicken a great golgen brown color and great flavor. I really enjoyed the fresh cilantro.
