Ingredients for Asian Style Grilled Chicken Salad

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned pepper
  • Pineapple Slices
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (reserved from canned pineapple)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • Mixed Greens
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

How to Make Asian Style Grilled Chicken Salad

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry and lightly sprinkle with seasoned pepper.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until thoroughly cooked. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, soy sauce, reserved pineapple juice, rice vinegar, honey, and ginger. Set aside.
  4. Brush pineapple chunks with half of the dressing and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and slightly softened.
  5. Arrange mixed greens, shredded carrots, and sliced bell peppers on a serving platter or individual plates.
  6. Top with grilled chicken and pineapple.
  7. Drizzle remaining dressing over the salad.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
