Oriental Chicken Salad
A long-running guest favorite featuring crispy breaded chicken tenders sliced and served over a bed of fresh Asian greens (a mix of romaine, cabbage, and carrots). The salad is topped with crunchy rice noodles and toasted almond slivers, all tossed in Applebee’s signature Oriental Vinaigrette. It is typically served with a golden-brown signature breadstick brushed with buttery garlic and parsley.
