- 1/2 cup McCormick® Sesame Seed
- 1/4 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup soy sauce, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated gingerroot
- 1 can (11 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated original breadsticks (12 breadsticks)
- 2 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 2 1/2 cups broccoli slaw or shredded broccoli
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 3/4 cup julienne carrots (from 10-oz bag)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup Fisher® Cashews, Halves and Pieces, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 In 10-inch skillet, cook sesame seed over medium-high heat 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted. Remove from skillet to plate to cool.
- 2 Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, beat butter, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the gingerroot and 2 tablespoons of the sesame seed with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Carefully unroll dough into 2 rectangles. On each of 2 ungreased cookie sheets with sides, place 1 rectangle; press into 8x6-inch rectangle. Spread with butter mixture. Using pizza cutter, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 6 breadsticks, then cut each breadstick crosswise into 8 pieces.
- 3 Bake 8 to 12 minutes, rotating cookie sheets halfway through baking, until crisp. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool.
- 4 Meanwhile, in large bowl, toss chicken, broccoli slaw, cucumber, carrots, cilantro, onion and cashews. In container with tight-fitting lid, shake olive oil, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and remaining soy sauce, gingerroot and sesame seed until well blended. Just before serving, pour dressing over chicken mixture; toss to coat. Add croutons; stir lightly.
