Preparing the Chicken
1. Cook the Chicken
Season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and allow to cool, then slice into thin strips.
Making the China Island Dressing
2. Prepare the Dressing
In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove. Whisk together until smooth and well blended. Set aside.
Assembling the Salad
3. Assemble the Base
In a large mixing bowl, add 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1 cup shredded purple cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, 1 red bell pepper sliced thin, 2 scallions thinly sliced, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
4. Add Chicken and Dressing
Add the cooked and sliced chicken to the salad. Drizzle with the prepared China Island dressing. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
5. Top and Serve
Top the salad with 1/4 cup crispy chow mein noodles and 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts for crunch. Serve immediately.
