Preparation

Step 1

Marinate chicken for at least four hours, or overnight. When ready to make salad, cook chicken in a skillet and cut into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Build salad by combining butter lettuce, spinach, cilantro and scallions. Add onion, oranges, and water chestnuts. Toss well.

Top with chicken, and sprinkle almonds, sesame seeds, and chow mein noodles on top.

Serve with additional dressing.

**Notes**

I used Newman’s Own Lite Sesame Ginger for a marinade.
