"Hearty Chicken Salad with Rice Vinegraette"

This is one of my own creation and favorite healthy light meal.

This single dish is just perfect for you and 'your love one' when you want an easy light dinner meal. {Which we always like to have during week days.}

The sweet and sour taste of the seasoned rice vinegar mixed with olive oil and low fat mayonaisse is blending with the tart of apple and sweetness of raisins.

The sauteed breaded chicken can make your dinner meal just feels light and not too heavy in the stomach. This is definitely one of your diet delicious meal.

  2. I added another dressing recipe (Steven's favorite) The rice vinegraette dressing is a little bit of Japanese taste. But I like it. I sometimes dip the chicken only in the dressing. Good luck ! Hope he will like it.
