Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1/3 cup grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chow mein noodles, for serving
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, for serving

For the sesame vinaigrette

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the vinaigrette, whisk together rice wine vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, sugar, ginger and soy sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
  • In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper; marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning the bag occasionally.
  • Add chicken and marinade to a baking dish. Place into oven and bake until cooked through and juices run clear, about 13-15 minutes. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.
  • To assemble the salad, place romaine lettuce in a large bowl; top with red cabbage, carrots, edamame, green onion and chicken. Pour sesame vinaigrette on top of the salad and gently toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, topped with chow mein noodles and almonds, if desired.
