Sesame chicken salad with cherry tomatoes, mixed greens, red onion, mandarin oranges, and sweet ginger-soy dressing.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
  • 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 7 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper, or to taste
  • 4 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 (16 ounce) package mixed salad greens
  • 1.25 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • 0.75 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fully cooked and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. Use a thermometer to ensure chicken reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Set aside to cool.
  • Once the chicken has cooled, mix olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and red pepper in a Mason jar. Seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously until everything is well combined.
  • Combine the chopped cooled chicken with the dressing and sesame seeds in a bowl, then toss them together.
  • In a large bowl, toss together mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and onion. Add dressed chicken and garnish with mandarin oranges.
