How to Make Asian Grilled Chicken Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the remaining half for the dressing.
  3. Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  7. Toss mixed greens with the reserved dressing.
  8. Arrange lettuce on plates, top with sliced chicken, and sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using) and sliced green onions.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
