Categories     BBQ & Grilling     Chicken     Salads

Time 8h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 medium head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
¼ medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, shredded
½ cup crispy fried rice noodles

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger for marinade together in a small bowl; pour over chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine mayonnaise, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger for dressing in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you cook the chicken.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • While the chicken is cooking, place sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium-high heat. Shake the pan like you are making popcorn and toast until seeds give off a lovely toasted smell, 3 to 5 minutes. Quickly remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool; if you leave them in the pan they will continue to cook and burn.
  • Place napa cabbage, green cabbage, and carrot in a large bowl with chicken and toasted sesame seeds. Toss together, then mix in the dressing. Divide salad onto plates and top with crispy fried noodles.

Sesame-Scallion Chicken Salad image

This reimagined chicken salad is lighter and leafier than your standard picnic lunch. Tender poached chicken, crisp greens, cukes, and scallions get tossed with a sesame dressing that takes its cues form gomae, a Japanese spinach salad.

Provided by Christina Chaey

Categories     Bon Appétit     Lunch     Dinner     Salad     Chicken     Cucumber     Green Onion/Scallion     Sesame     Lettuce     Cilantro     Soy Sauce     Honey     Poach     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Dairy Free     Picnic

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (1-1½ lb. total)
3 Tbsp. kosher salt, plus more
3 scallions, thinly sliced on a deep diagonal
3 Persian cucumbers
½ cup toasted sesame seeds, divided
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. tahini
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. honey
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
¼ head of romaine or green or red leaf lettuce or 1 head of Little Gem lettuce
Big handful of cilantro leaves with tender stems
½ lime (for serving)

Steps:

  • Bring chicken, 3 Tbsp. kosher salt, and 5 cups water to a bare simmer in a medium pot over medium heat (chicken should be submerged). Be patient-this will take a little while. Once liquid begins to simmer, reduce heat to low and cook (water should not be simmering at all now) until juices run clear when thickest part of chicken is pierced, 8-10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a medium bowl; discard poaching liquid. Let chicken sit until cool enough to handle, then shred meat into big pieces; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, place scallions in a small bowl and pour in very cold water to cover; let soak 10 minutes.
  • Drain scallions in a mesh sieve or colander, then rinse under cold running water, swishing vigorously to rinse and to encourage them to curl up. Shake off as much water as possible and place in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Working one at a time, slice cucumbers in half crosswise, then slice each piece in half lengthwise. Place quarters cut side down and slice in half lengthwise again to create 8 pieces total per cucumber. Add to bowl with reserved chicken.
  • Set 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds aside in a small bowl for serving. Crush remaining sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle until some of the seeds have turned to powder, but with plenty of whole seeds left. (Alternatively, you can pulse seeds a few times in a food processor or spice mill, then transfer to a medium bowl before proceeding). Add lime juice, tahini, soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes and mash to create a paste. Add ¼ cup water and whisk to combine (if you don't have a small enough whisk, work in with the pestle). Taste and season with salt.
  • Add lettuce and cilantro to bowl with reserved scallions. Pour half of dressing over and toss to coat. Arrange on a platter. Pour remaining dressing over chicken and cucumbers, toss to coat, and arrange over greens. Top salad with reserved 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds and squeeze juice from lime half over.
