A light, weeknight dinner can be on the table in a flash thanks to quick-cooking chicken tenders.
Ingredients: 1/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon bottled chopped garlic 2 teaspoons sugar 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast tenders 1 tablespoon peanut oil 4 cups mixed
salad greens 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion 2 tablespoons finely chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts Lime wedges (optional)
Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add chicken to broth mixture, stirring to coat. Let stand 3 minutes. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Add chicken to the pan; cook 4 minutes or until done, stirring frequently. Stir in the
reserved marinade. Reduce heat; cook 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Remove pan from heat. Combine greens and basil in a large bowl. Add chicken mixture, tossing to coat. Place 1 1/4 cups salad mixture on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons peanuts.
Serve immediately. Serve with lime wedges, if desired. **The pan sauce in this dish doubles as a piquant vinaigrette for the salad. Serve with crunchy breadsticks, if you wish**
