Ingredients

Salad

  • 6 chicken tenders or 2 large breasts
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 8 cups chopped Romaine Lettuce
  • 1 carrot shredded
  • 1/2 shredded red cabbage
  • 1/2 edamame
  • 15 oz 1 can mandarin oranges drained
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds toasted
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds toasted

Honey Mustard Dressing

  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • 1-Chicken : Combine chicken and teriyaki sauce in a sealed ziploc bag and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
    2- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking dish with foil (optional - for easy clean up). Arrange chicken in the baking dish and cook for 10-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Cool before serving.
    3-Dressing : Combine ingredients in a tighly sealed container (like a mason jar) and shake until well combined. Alternatively, whisk ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
    To prepare the salad:
    Toast the almonds and sesame seeds on a baking sheet in the 400 degree oven after chicken is done for about 5 minutes.
    Combine lettuce, carrot, red cabbage and edamame. Toss the salad with half of the honey mustard dressing. Arrange salad on a large platter or divide onto plates. Top with sliced chicken, mandarin oranges, and toasted almonds and sesame seeds. Drizzle with additional dressing or serve on the side.
