Applebee’s Oriental Chicken Salad

My copycat Applebee’s Oriental Chicken salad recipe has all the flavor and pizazz of the original, but it’s available at my house any time I crave it! A fresh romaine salad mix is topped with crispy strips of chicken, chow mein noodles, slivered almonds, and my homemade Oriental chicken salad dressing. It only takes about 30 minutes to make, and it always tastes amazing!
The Oriental chicken salad has been my go-to Applebee’s order for as long as I can remember (either that, or the Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp). Now I don’t have to make the trek to the restaurant to enjoy one of my favorite salads! I love a good copycat recipe and this one might just take the cake. It’s so quick and easy to toss together and tastes even better than the real deal. This 30 minute salad recipe always hits the spot and never leaves me hungry for more!
