How to Make Barefoot Chinese Chicken Salad
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Let cool completely before shredding.
- While chicken roasts, prepare the asparagus. Snap off tough ends of 1 lb asparagus and blanch in boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes, until crisp-tender.
- Immediately plunge asparagus into ice water to stop cooking. Drain well.
- Cut 1 red bell pepper and 1 green bell pepper into thin strips, about the size of the asparagus.
- Shred the cooled chicken into large, bite-sized pieces. Discard any remaining skin and bones.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, asparagus, and bell peppers.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients (see below) and pour over the chicken and vegetables.
- Stir in 2 chopped scallions and 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
