Oriental Chicken Salad with Crunchy Ramen Noodles

I've made this 3 times so far. It's easy to make and tastes good. I skipped sunflower seeds but it was still good.

SOOOOO good and easy. I have been making it once a week since I found the recipe and everyone who tries it wants a copy. I leave out the chicken entirely- it doesn't need it. Yummy on it's own! Thanks for posting.

This was sooo good! I've made it twice now, each time using 3 oven-roasted chicken breasts (which was a lot of chicken). The almonds and ramen noodles really give this salad a great taste! I've tried it both with and without extra dressing and prefer this salad with a single batch of dressing. It's just the right amount to be able to taste it but not enough to leave a big puddle of dressing at the bottom of the bowl. The dressing is nice and sweet and tastes yummy! This is a definite keeper! Thanks for posting!

I have people asking me to bring this to their parties. It is a fabulous and easy salad to make. Instead of sunflower seeds, I brown sesame seeds just because I always have them.

Most definitely 5 stars! I used half pre-shredded coleslaw mix and half garden salad mix for a little less cabbage-y taste. Grilled some teriyaki marinated chicken but a deli rotisserie chicken would make this even faster to throw together. Also used other reviewer's suggestions and added just a little soy sauce, garlic and red peper flakes into the dressing. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

So easy and so delicious. I left out the almonds because my son is allergic to them. Can't wait to make this for a potluck. Thanks for sharing!

First off, this salad converted me to 'crunchy' ramen noodles. The idea of eating them without boiling to noodley form has always been such a peciular idea to me - Nope, they rock, very nutty! Will do anytime now. And this salad is savory delicious too. Super easy and a real hit. I just bought the pre made slaw at the store, super good with a little carrot too! Also, per other similar salad recommendations added 1 ramen noodle seasoning packet to the dressing - yummers.

Definite family favorite! Have made this several times for the family and for covered dish parties. It is always a hit!!! I didn't have seasoned rice vinegar and just used apple cider vinegar and a tad bit more sugar! Tasted fine!!!

Love this salad and should have left a review long ago. I do two things differntly though. I add 1 to 1 1/2 of the ramen spice packages to the dressing and omit the salt and pepper. The other thing I do different is after toasting the noodles and almonds I reserve them and store them in a tupperware container so we can add them "as we go". This works out really well if you have left overs the next day and want nice crunchy topping to go with it. Thanks again!

I've been wanting to try this recipe because I've tried some at potlucks and this one was great! A few tweaks: I used Broccoli Slaw that was in a bag to make half the recipe, instead of salt I used the season packet, instead of sunflower seeds I used sesame seeds, added a little sesame oil for fun. Next time: it was a little dry for me, so I think I will add some soy sauce and more rice vinegar and more green onion. Thanks for sharing! We loved it!

Brought this salad to a dinner at friends...It was a hit! I cut back the oil. And burnt the noodles (Then discarded them) I added the "browned" noodles just before serving. They stayed crunchy that way. Now my friend is joining Recipezaar! Keep the good recipes coming!

I've made this a couple times now and it gets rave reviews. I leave out the sunflower seeds because I don't have any. Instead of adding salt to the dressing I add the two seasoning packets from the Ramen. The amount of dressing is perfect for us. I prefer to add the dressing to the salad a couple hours before serving. The last time I made this I ran short on oil so added a little sesame oil to the pan and it turned out nice. Easy to make and it's yummy! Thanks Tulip!

I liked this recipe alot, however, the dressing didn't turn out quite right until I added more sugar. Used my little hand blender to incorporate the oil and then the dressing came together. Enjoyed it!

I've been making something very similar for years but had misplaced my handwritten recipe. Thanks for helping me to find the recipe :) I use coleslaw mix for ease of preparation and sesame seeds in place of the sunflower seeds as a personal preference but everything else is spot on to how I have always made it. I really like the dressing ration here and I also love to eat the leftovers with the soft noodles!

Yummy! I've had lots of variations of this and I love this one. I made 1/2 recipe and it actually made enough for at least 6 side dish sized portions. I omitted sunflower seeds for personal taste, used a small can of cooked chicken, 1 bag of packaged coleslaw mix (with carrots), and proportions were great. I did let the dressing sit about 1/2 hour to let the sugar dissolve. Great amount of dressing. I just wish the noodles stayed crispy as leftovers because I'd eat it all week!

This is nice and sweet with a bit of crunch. I made it easy on myself and used 2 bags of Cole Slaw mix which also included some slivered carrots and red cabbage to give it even more color AND I also used 1 large can of cooked chicken breast and just dumped it in. Both worked out great and tasted just fine. My aunt used to make this and I lost the recipe so was glad to find it here! Thanks Tulip!
