Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
• 2 cups Napa cabbage
• 1 cup Carrots
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 4 cups Corn chips
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds

Directions

Step 1

Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Slice the Napa cabbage into thin strips. Grate the carrots or use pre-shredded carrots. Finely slice the green onions. Chop the cilantro leaves. Add all these vegetables to the mixing bowl with the chicken.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the dressing.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables, tossing everything together until well coated.

Step 5

Heat a small skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the sesame seeds and slivered almonds until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 6

Fold the sesame seeds and slivered almonds into the salad mixture for added crunch and flavor.

Step 7

To serve, lay out the corn chips on a large serving platter. Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto each corn chip, evenly distributing the filling.

Step 8

Garnish with additional cilantro or green onion if desired, and serve immediately as an appetizer or light meal.
