Cold Sesame Salad


Cold Sesame Salad is a great meal to eat on the go or at home. This recipe and others can be found in Fred Pescatore's book, Thin For Good. They are recipes that anyone can enjoy while losing weight.

Serving: 2
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes




2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup minced scallions; use both green and white parts
2 tablespoons creamy, natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
¼ cup lite soy sauce
2 tablespoons reserved chicken broth
1 cup broccoli, steamed and chilled
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds




1. In a large saucepan, poach the chicken breasts in 2 cups salted water until opaque and cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes.

2. Remove the breasts from the poaching liquid and reserve 2 tablespoons of the broth for the dressing. When the breasts are cool, shred the meat.

3. Put the next 5 ingredients (scallions through reserved broth) into a blender and whirl until smooth (chunks of scallion should remain).

4. Toss the dressing with shredded chicken.

5. Mound ½ cup of the chilled broccoli on each of two plates.

6. Make a well in the center and fill each with half of the chicken salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.



Based on individual serving.
