INSTRUCTIONS

1 MIX first 8 ingredients in small bowl. Place chicken in large bowl. Pour marinade over chicken. Turn to coat well. Refrigerate 6 hours. Remove chicken from marinade.
2 PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Roast chicken 50 to 60 minutes or until cooked through. Cool chicken, then remove the meat and shred.
3 PREPARE the Soy Honey Dressing by blending all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
4 HEAT 2 inches of oil in large deep skillet. Test the temperature by placing a small piece of rice noodle into the hot oil. If the noodle immediately puffs up, the oil is hot enough for frying. Deep fry small amounts of noodles at a time. The rice noodles will puff up like popcorn in seconds. Be prepared to immediately remove noodles from hot oil. Transfer noodles with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
5 TOSS chicken, salad greens, sprouts and red ginger with the desired amount of Dressing. Add green onions, cilantro, fried rice noodles; toss again. Sprinkle top with almonds.
