Ingredients
  

For The Salad

  • 1 cup rice toasted and crisped
  • 4 cups romaine chopped, washed and packed
  • 1/2 cups parmesan grated
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded chicken

For The Dressing

  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 lemon squeezed
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 garlic clove minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-4 tbsp warm water to thin
  • 1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
  • 2 tbsp parmesan grated

Instructions
 

  • If you don’t have any leftover rice, start by cooking 1 cup of rice according to packaging, & completely cooling it afterwards.
  • While the rice is cooking, prep your chicken. You can use shredded rotisserie to make it SUPER easy but I like to boil mine!
  • If you’re making your own chicken: Use boneless and skinless chicken breast. Bring water to a gentle boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook 12–15 minutes for average-size chicken breasts, or 15–18 minutes if your chicken is larger!!
  • Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool for a few minutes. To shred, gently use a blender or 2 forks and pull apart. To blend: place chicken in blender, and pulse blend 2-3 times with a quick shake in between. This should shred easily, but be careful to over blend, of course.
  • The rice should be completely cooled now, so toss it on a baking tray and spray lightly with a little oil of choice (I use avocado oil). You can airfry or bake the rice in the oven for about 20-25 mins at 425, or until the rice is toasty.
  • To make the dressing, add in olive oil, mayo, dijon mustard, white miso paste, worcestershire sauce, and ½ lemon. Mix until well combined. Then, add in your seasonings: garlic, freshly cracked pepper, grated parmesan and adjust to your taste. Add the hot water, as this is necessary to thin the miso and and help everything emulsify.
  • Finally, prep your salad base: wash, dry, and chop up romaine into a big salad bowl.
  • Dice an avocado into the romaine. Add in your chicken, crispy rice, & grated parmesan directly into the salad.
  • Lastly, pour the dressing into the salad and toss. ENJOY!!
