Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (16-ounce) bottle Asian toasted sesame dressing
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped (about 22 ounces)
3 mandarin oranges, peeled and wedged
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
4 scallions, sliced on an angle
1/2 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/4 cup shredded carrots
Tuxedo sesame seeds (mixed black and white), for garnish
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts and 1/4 cup of the Asian dressing. Allow them to marinate for up to 1 hour.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1-inch strips.
To make the salad, toss the romaine lettuce, mandarin oranges, tomatoes, scallions, red onion, celery, and shredded carrots in a large salad bowl. Divide among four plates and top each serving with half a chicken breast on top. Top with additional Asian dressing and sesame seeds.
