Ingredients

  • Dressing:
  • 1/2 Cup vegetable (canola) oil
  • 1/4 Cup vinegar
  • 1/3 Cup brown sugar
  • 2 TB. soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1/2-1 tsp. POWDERED GINGER
  • 1/4 tsp. GARLIC (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp. GROUND WHITE or BLACK PEPPER (optional)
  • Chicken:
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2-4 Tbs Sesame Ginger Dressing
  • Salad:
  • 1 head romaine or your favorite lettuce, cleaned and cut
  • 1 4-oz. can Mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 small red onion cut in rings
  • 1/2 Cup Sesame Ginger Dressing (to taste)

Preparation

Step 1

Dressing: Place all of the ingredients in a blender and pulse until it emulsifies and thickens a bit.
Chicken: Wash chicken, pat dry. Brush both sides with GINGER DRESSING, cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook roughly 8 minutes per side. Set aside to rest while cooking the greens.

Divide the greens among four plates. Slice the chicken and lay on top of the greens. Assemble the salad by filling the rest of the plate with lettuce, top with oranges and onion slices. Drizzle with dressing; serve extra at the table.
