Ruth Price's Chicken Satay Salad:

Ingredients:
1 - 7 to 8 inch flour tortilla, halved, cut into 1/8-inch strips

Salad:
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 cups torn mixed salad greens
1 cup thinly shredded red cabbage
1/3 cup shredded carrot
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or fresh parsley

Peanut Dressing:
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tbsp finely chopped peanuts
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp minced fresh gingerroot
1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Arrange tortilla strips in a single layer on a cookie sheet.  Bake for 7-11 minutes or until light brown.

In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; blend with a wire whisk until smooth and creamy.  Place chicken in a plastic bag; add 3 tablespoons of the dressing as a marinade.  Refrigerate remaining dressing.  Seal bag and turn to coat.  Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine remaining salad ingredients and toss.  Cover and refrigerate.

Heat the grill and when ready to barbecue, oil the grill.  Place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 10-15 minutes or until chicken is fork tender and juices run clear, turning once.

Cut chicken into strips.  Add chicken and remaining refrigerated dressing to salad.  Toss to coat and sprinkle tortilla strips on top.
