Preparation

Step 1

Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and place in a bowl. Combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, sugar and Mrs. Dash in a small bowl and mix well. Pour over the chicken pieces, stirring to coat. Marinate the chicken, covered, in the refrigerator overnight, stirring occasionally. Drain the chicken and discard the marinade.

Preheat a heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until the juices run clear. Drain the chicken and chill in the refrigerator. Rinse the broccoli and grapes, pat dry and place in a large bowl. Add the raisins, cranberries and pecans and toss to mix. Combine the salad dressing, mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl and blend well. Add to the broccoli mixture and toss lightly to mix. Add the chicken and toss lightly. Refrigerate, covered, until serving time.
