Ingredients

  • 1 lb uncooked chicken breast strips for stir-frying
  • 3/4 cup Oriental dressing and marinade
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups thinly sliced Chinese (napa) cabbage
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions (4 medium)
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped dry-roasted peanuts

Steps

  • 1
    In medium bowl, mix chicken and 1/4 cup of the dressing; toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes to marinate.
  • 2
    In 8-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Remove chicken from marinade with slotted spoon and add to skillet; discard remaining marinade. Cook and stir chicken 4 to 6 minutes or until browned and no longer pink in center. Remove from heat. Add remaining 1/2 cup dressing; stir to mix.

    Divide cabbage and spinach among 4 serving plates. Top with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with onions and peanuts. If desired, serve with additional dressing.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Chinese cabbage is also called napa cabbage. The oblong head has long pale green leaves with white ribs and crinkled edges. Unlike round cabbage, Chinese cabbage has a crisp texture and a mild flavor.
  • tip 2
    Shredded iceberg lettuce can be used in place of the Chinese cabbage.
