Marinated Chicken

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce and mixed greens.

  2. 6

    Add Salad Toppings

    Top the greens with sliced almonds, drained mandarin oranges, and fried wontons.

  3. 7

    Slice the Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and arrange it on top of the salad.

Serving

  1. 8

    Final Touch

    Toss the salad gently to combine, or serve the chicken on top without tossing. Enjoy your Chinese Chicken salad!
