Burmese Chicken Salad

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons chickpea flour
• ½ large yellow onion

  thinly sliced and divided
• ¼ cup avocado oil

  or other neutral-flavored oil
• 1½ juicy limes

  divided
• 2 cups (8-9 ounces) shredded Rotisserie chicken

  cold or room temperature
• ½ large green cabbage

  cored, and very thinly sliced
• ½ English cucumber (2 Persian cucumbers)

  halved lengthwise, then sliced into thin half moons
• 1 small jalapeño pepper

  ribbed, seeded, and finely minced
• ½ cup packed cilantro leaves

  coarsely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce

  plus more for serving
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons crispy garlic chips

  crushed

Instructions

• 1 Toast Garbanzo Flour: Spread the chickpea flour into a small dry skillet. Place
  over medium heat, stirring often, until the flour is golden brown and toasted,
  roughly 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool completely.
• 2 Prepare the Salad: Place half of the sliced onion in a small bowl. Squeeze one
  juicy lime over the onion mixture, toss lightly, and set aside while you prepare
  the rest of the salad. Allowing the raw onion to sit in the lime juice helps
  temper the raw flavor.
• 3 In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the remaining sliced
  onion to the pan (they should sizzle as they hit the oil) and shallow fry,
  stirring the onion continuously, until the slices have shriveled, are evenly
  golden brown in color, and crispy.
• 4 Assemble the Salad: Transfer the crispy onions, as well as the cooking oil (this
  infused onion oil will essentially be the oil in the 'vinaigrette' of the salad)
  to a large salad bowl and allow the oil to cool to room temperature. Add the
  shredded rotisserie chicken, cabbage, cucumber, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and
  toasted (and cooled) chickpea flour. Toss with tongs until well combined. Add
  the fish sauce, salt, and reserved raw onion and lime mixture, and juice of the
  remaining ½ lime. Toss again.
• 5 Season to taste, adding more fish sauce or lime juice to taste as needed. Serve
  and top with crushed garlic chips
