How to Make Grilled Ginger Sesame Chicken Salad
- **Marinate the Chicken:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons canola oil, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon sriracha, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
- **Prepare the Chicken:** Transfer 3 tablespoons of the marinade to a baking dish. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts and turn to coat thoroughly.
- **Refrigerate:** Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
- **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions into the remaining marinade.
- **Set aside the dressing.**
- **Preheat Grill Pan:** Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- **Grill the Chicken:** Remove chicken from the marinade and add to the hot grill pan. Cook for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and shows no sign of pink when pierced with a fork in the thickest part.
- **Rest the Chicken:** Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- **Slice the Chicken:** Cut the chicken crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, toss the sliced chicken with 4 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup sliced almonds. Add enough dressing to lightly coat.
- **Plate the Salad:** Mound the salad in the center of 4 plates.
- **Drizzle with Dressing:** Re-whisk the dressing and drizzle a little over and around the salad.
- **Garnish:** Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sliced almonds and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
