You already know our deep love for frozen chicken nuggets on a salad. This sweet and sour riff combines our favorite take-out inspired chicken with a crispy crunchy salad.


Ingredients

Scale

For the sweet and sour nuggets
⅓ cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon hot sauce, optional
1 (24 ounce) bag frozen chicken nuggets

1/4 cup shelled edamame
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chow mein noodles, for serving
