Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup olive oil
7 tablespoons white vinegar
6 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper, or to taste
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 (16 ounce) package mixed salad greens
1 ¼ cups halved cherry tomatoes
¾ medium red onion, thinly sliced
3 mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • While chicken is cooling, combine olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and red pepper in a Mason jar; close lid and shake vigorously until combined.
  • Chop cooled chicken and place in a bowl with dressing and sesame seeds; toss to combine.
  • Combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl. Mix in dressed chicken and top with mandarin oranges.
