INGREDIENTS
For the chicken:
- 1 lb chicken breast (about two boneless and skinless breasts)
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the pumpkin seeds:
- 3/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the salad:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 large apple, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
For the chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 375℉.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and drizzle them with the oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Roast in the preheat oven until the chicken is browned and register 165℉, 16-20 minutes. Once roasted, remove the chicken from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
For the pumpkin seeds:
- In a small skillet, combine the pumpkin seeds, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup, kosher salt, and black pepper. Set the skillet over medium heat and stir. Continue stirring, toasting the pumpkin seeds until they are glazed, 5-8 minutes.
- Once toasted, remove them from the heat and pour them onto parchment paper to cool.
For the salad:
- In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, neutral oil, rice wine vinegar, ramen noodle flavor packet, sugar, and kosher salt. Depending on the ramen brand, the level of salt may need to be adjusted. Whisk the dressing together until it is combined.
- To the bowl with the dressing, add the shredded cabbage, shredded chicken, green onion, apple, broken-up ramen noodles, and pumpkin seeds. Mix well and serve immediately.

THANKS !

[@pamelawilliams7174]

I am new to your channel and started watching because of your gardening videos. Today I’m using your idea of stacked pumpkins and grapevine wreaths. After watching this video I have to make this recipe. It looks delicious. I don’t enjoy cooking anymore but this seems so easy. Thank you.

[@valeriebardascino4970]

I just made this for dinner and made a little vegan switch by using vegan Beyond Chicken! What a great recipe! Thank you, Kaleb!

[@annmarie4794]

Whoever is filming and editing your videos does a fantastic and very professional job.

[@SuAnne-lc5rw]

I love your videos Kaleb always! You are such an inspiration to us folks that follow you. I’m 69 years old now and so happy to have had this life with my family! I was raised in central Illinois and gardening was a huge part of my childhood and early adulthood, I moved here to Arizona in 1981, and have always missed the change of seasons in the Midwest and the good times in the garden with my grandparents. ❤😊😅 I’m so grateful I had that privilege as a kid. You have the ability to always be the same person, kind and positive, willing to keep trying things and never give up! Just like with Kip, you gave him your all and even though I know that was stressful and exhausting, & expensive but you hung in there and saw that through. You are good at everything you do! ❤❤❤

[@sookeecarter5357]

We followed your recipe as written last night. It is simply the best ramen salad we’ve had to date. The flavors were well balanced and it was visually pleasing with all the vibrant colors. My husband, who is very particular, has officially raved over the last three recipes of yours that I’ve made, so he said I need to try more of your recipes. Thank you!

[@midlifemom5829]

Yum! I break the ramen and toast til lightly golden

[@MissPrissy6688]

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ! 💋

[@janetwise3248]

Looks great. I bet it would be good with kale or broccoli, too. Thanks for another great recipe!

[@groundedgarden1461]

I love that you used your available produce from the garden! Showing us what we can do with our veggies in season, from either our yards or from a local farmers market

[@bonniearey4406]

You are so dang cute when you taste your food. Makes me want to eat with you. Trying this recipe tonight!!!😅❤

[@isagoldfield7393]

I really love the addition of the ramen, thanks for sharing this delicious recipe♥️🤍💚

[@barbschuby9235]

This is the first cooking class I I've watched of you, amazing ! Normally I watch your garden videos but this was so fun too😊

[@sandrameyer9294]

I love your wooden bowl of pumpkins

[@paulapeter13]

I love your channel, Kaleb. Thanks for sharing!

[@RobinMarconeCassidyRN]

Just by toasting nuts in a single recipe changes the flavor in it's entirety. Gives it a huge flavor boost! I've learned a lot Kaleb. Thank you!🙏

[@wendyallen5105]

Yum.. this would be good on a croissant too! 👏👏👏👍🏻

[@deliaarias6372]

I do a Chinese chicken salad sort of like this but i toast my broken up ramen in butter first. Not very healthy but so good! I have saved and used so many of your recipes! My family loves them!

[@carolaguilera6911]

Healthy is what you make of it . To bad for you. He call it healthy and s o do I 🖕

[@kima.6611]

Another delicious recipe, thank you! I had a mix of edamame, cranberries, cashews, and sunflower seeds that I substituted for the pumpkin seeds. It's what I had on hand. This blend wasn't toasted, of course. Also, instead of salt on the chicken, I used a touch of the Ramen seasoning plus added a few dashes of cayenne pepper for a little heat.

[@loribethartist6353]

You have gotten me into the fall spirit 🍁 now if it will cool down a few degrees 🥵 😂

[@erikatablada6158]

Can’t wait to try this, it looks delicious.

[@ja_Iam]

Looks delicious!! Thank you.

[@Uprightfossil]

Amazing !!!!!! Made this for tonight’s dinner. I did use the red cabbage too just because that’s what I had. I think the surprise was just how GOOD those toasted pumpkin seeds were. That crunch and flavor in the salad was just over the top yummy. I think for fun, the next time I make it, I will use the savoy cabbage. My husband isn’t a huge fan of chicken but it’s just all mixed so he’s not just getting that in a bite. I sautéed some thighs to get a little brown and then slow roasted in the oven with a little DaYaki . Thank you

[@patriciarusso1148]

Beautiful,nourishing & looks delicious & fun to make for lunch or whenever. Appreciate the suggestion because I enjoy cooking and always appreciate new ideas!😊Thanks!

[@rudyvel]

Wow, amazing and can't wait to make this for tomorrow's dinner!

[@judybesse4058]

[@JRP58]

Your salad looks delicious.I will have to add it to my recipes.

[@annabanabanana]

So good! Added added a couple tablespoons of honey along with the listed amount of sugar to sweeten it up more. Loved this so much!

[@becsmom89]

Can't wait to make this!

[@loribethartist6353]

I have tosted the ramen to add a crunchy topping to this type of salad… it’s so good 😊

[@carolaguilera6911]

This looks so good i have w bunch a ramen packages already. Im just going to use rotarressi chicken to save on time. Definitely a fall asian salad. Yummy

[@deborahjean7576]

Excellent salad

[@lauramaze5354]

This looks delicious. I love having salads that eat like a meal. I call them big salads because I make a big batch and have it for a couple days. I use sunflower kernels but I'm going to try the pumpkin seeds. This looks so good, thanks for sharing! 🙂

[@jaycarver4886]

In some circles called big @$$ salads! 😊

[@lauramaze5354]

@@jaycarver4886 indeed they are 🤣

[@puricaro6738]

Love it...

[@seandutta6408]

Kaleb, loved this reminder of how good this salad is ... I always add a bit of soy sauce and oyster sauce to my dressing. Have you ever done that?

[@trishac9516]

I love all your recipes, and this one looks delish! The only thing I'm worried about is the ramen noodle packet. Do they still use MSG in it? If they do, I can't use it as I am allergic. What would you suggest as an alternative?

[@adrianapopovich1616]

Ervithing is good 👍 God blessing you dear!!! ❤

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

This does look soooo good and I will definitely make this except not the ramen. I'm wondering if you could suggest an alternative noodle for those who can't have or don't want the wheat flour? I'm thinking some fried glass noodles or Thai crispy rice noodles might be fabulous with it.

[@rachelsundberg8853]

Thanks for helping me figure out how to use up cabbage and apples. Any recipes for pears or spaghetti squash, please?

[@jerrytannhauser1541]

I toast my Ramen. Ads so much more flavor.

[@carolaguilera6911]

I'm gonna do that

[@susansterchi4269]

Delish!

[@MissPrissy6688]

I love this salad. But I toast the ramen noodles in a skillet…

[@debrakrause8893]

I went back and watched some old videos ( while I was looking for your beef and noodles recipe). I had no idea you grew up Mennonite!! When did you stop being one? And how does that happen, and why?

[@jaycarver4886]

I read Ramadan chicken salad. 🤪

mmmmm solata

[@MissPrissy6688]

I’ve tried everything but stand on my head to print out this recipe. I’ve subscribed, joined, have a password everything and it WILL NOT pull up the recipe to print !!!!! Kind of a screwy website. You video the making of the salad but don’t say how much this how much that so I was relying on the printed recipe. Won’t do it. So I’ll just guess on the dressing. ☹️
