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.

Greens: Wash well, spin or towel dry well. Cut off tough stems. Once chicken has been removed from the pan, raise heat to medium-high, add greens. Cook, stirring, until the liquid that will come off them has mostly evaporated, roughly 6-8 minutes. Drizzle with dressing, toss and cook another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

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.
