Skinny Chinese Chicken Salad with Shirataki Noodles

We love playing in the kitchen, creating new delicious meal ideas using shirataki noodles. Once we have perfected a dish, we enjoy sharing it by adding it to our ever-growing collection of recipes on our website. We thought that it would also be fun to feature one of our new favorites each month on our blog.

For August’s Skinny Noodles recipe, we wanted to feature a dish that is both light and refreshing – the perfect complement to the scorching-hot summer heat! Our Skinny Chinese Chicken Salad contains 24g protein, 5g fiber, and just 16g carbohydrates per serving.
