Directions
Step 1:

Place chicken in a bowl. Cover with about 1/2 cup of dressing and marinate for at least 30 minutes (preferably three to four hours) in the refrigerator. Remove chicken and discard marinade. Season chicken with salt and pepper.

Step 2:

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add oil. When hot, add chicken breasts and cook until golden-brown on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes. Using metal tongs, flip the chicken and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes more. The chicken is ready when an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the breast reads 160°F to 165°F. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice.

Step 3:

Add almonds to a dry skillet (no oil needed). Toast almonds over medium-low heat while constantly stirring and shaking pan, until they take on a slightly golden hue and nutty aroma. Transfer almonds to a bowl to cool.

Step 4:

Snap off the tip of the snow peas (the attached string should automatically come off) Repeat on the opposite side. In a large bowl, combine the Napa cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, snow peas, mint, cilantro, scallions, almonds and sliced chicken. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5:

Add salad dressing to taste, enough to lightly coat the vegetables, about 3/4 cup. Toss to combine. Mound the salad on a serving plate. Top with chow mein noodles.
