Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is baking, julienne the carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Chop the green onions and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Peanut Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Add water to thin the dressing to your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the arugula, julienned vegetables, and sliced baked chicken. Drizzle the peanut dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Divide the salad among plates and serve immediately, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
