Blend together all dressing ingredients; refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a large saucepan, preheat oil over medium-high heat. While oil is warming up, cut chicken breasts into several long thin strips; set aside.
Beat egg and milk together in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine flour, cornflake crumbs, salt and pepper. Dip strips in egg mixture, and then into the flour, coating completely.
When oil is hot, carefully add chicken strips; fry 3-4 minutes or until cooked through or golden brown. Set on a paper towel lined plate to drain and cool. When cool, cut into bite size pieces.
Salad preparation:
Combine romaine, red cabbage, Napa cabbage, shredded carrot and cucumber; add chicken pieces. Sprinkle with almonds and chow mein noodles. Top with delicious honey oriental dressing.
