Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad

It no longer bake or roast chicken.  Why? You can buy them so easily at the store and it won't mess up your oven.  I buy mine at either Costco or Sam's.  They are twice as big as those at a Kroger or Publix etc and the same price.  If you want, instead of chicken, use shrimp or sliced leftover pork chops.  Serves 4
