Cubed chicken breast can be used as a faster substitute if you are in a hurry but I think the roast chicken is more flavorful. | Source

Putting it all together
- The first step is to remove the meat from the roast chicken. Then dice up any of the larger pieces. The roast chicken adds a great flavor to this salad. It takes a little extra time but it is well worth it.
- Next toast your slivered almonds on a cookie sheet at 400 for about 5 minutes. Toasting the almonds really brings out their richest flavor.
- Then in a large salad bowl add the shredded cabbage, sugar snap peas, diced green onions, toasted almonds, sesame seeds, and crushed top ramen and diced chicken.
- In a separate bowl mix the sesame seed oil, vinegar, two of the seasoning packets from the top ramen, and sugar.
- When the dressing is well mixed. Pour it over the salad and toss
- You are now ready to serve!
