How to Make Chicken Noodle Slaw
- **Prep the Noodles:** Gently crush ramen noodles in their packaging to break them into smaller pieces. Separate any large clumps.
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine 1 (14 oz) bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix (or 8 cups shredded cabbage and 2 cups shredded carrots), 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken, 2 packages of ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets), 1 (8 oz) can of water chestnuts (drained), 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup sliced green olives, and 2 (11 oz) cans mandarin orange segments (drained). Set aside.
- **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 ramen seasoning packets, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Dress the Slaw:** Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss gently to coat.
- **Add Creamy Element:** In another small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons milk. Gently stir this mixture into the slaw.
- **Chill & Serve:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or up to 8 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to chill. Serve cold and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
