Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Step 2

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced ginger, and garlic. Slowly drizzle in vegetable oil while whisking continuously until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Toast the almonds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast sliced almonds for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, mandarin oranges, shredded carrots, and green onions. Add sliced chicken on top.

Step 5

Finish and serve: Drizzle the Asian dressing over the salad and toss gently. Top with toasted almonds, sesame seeds, and crispy chow mein noodles. Serve immediately.
