Crispy Rice Chicken Salad

10 mins

This Crispy Rice Chicken Salad is a lighter, protein-packed take on the viral crispy rice, cucumber and chicken combination. With crunchy golden rice, juicy chicken, edamame and fresh vegetables, it’s full of texture and flavour while still being easy to throw together.

Ingredients
  • 350g chicken breast, diced
  • ½ pack microwave rice or 150g cooked leftover rice 
  • 200g shelled edamame or peas (frozen is fine)
  • 1 large cucumber, sliced 
  • 150g red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce (or gluten free tamari or soy sauce) 
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Dressing:

  • 150g Greek yoghurt of choice
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp honey

Needed kitchenware
Instructions

1.

Microwave your rice according to the package instructions if you don’t have cooked leftover rice.

2.

Spread the cooked rice on a tray, toss with the sesame oil and soy sauce, then air-fry/oven-bake at 180c on parchment paper until crispy, for about 30mins.

3.

Meanwhile, pan-fry your diced chicken until fully cooked using a non-stick pan, or a little extra sesame oil to avoid sticking.

4.

Mix the yoghurt, lime juice, sriracha and honey together to create the dressing in a small bowl or jar.

5.

In a separate bowl, combine the cucumber, cabbage and edamame together, followed by the crispy rice and chicken once cooked.

6.

Drizzle over the dressing and serve immediately.

Storage information

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 24 hours. Keep the crispy rice separate from the salad and dressing to maintain its texture. The rice can be eaten cold straight from the fridge or reheated until steaming hot throughout, but do not reheat the rice.

Tip

Lower carb: Reduce or omit the rice, and increase the cucumber, cabbage and edamame. You could also replace some of the rice with cauliflower rice before crisping it. Lower fat: Use fat-free Greek yoghurt.
