Step 1
1. Sprinkle chicken lightly with salt and pepper. In a large skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until no longer pink, turning to brown evenly. Remove chicken from skillet. Cool slightly; place in an airtight container. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 2 days until ready to serve.

3. To serve, in a very large bowl toss together chilled chicken, asparagus spears, pea pods, watercress, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. Add Garlic Ginger Soy Dressing; toss well. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Makes 12 servings.
