Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 2

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and chopped green onions. Toss them together to mix well.

  2. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

  3. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and green onions. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

Final Assembly

  1. 5

    Top the Salad

    Add the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad. Sprinkle the wonton strips and sesame seeds over the salad for added crunch and flavor.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Asian chicken salad immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
