Sesame-Chicken Salad image

Sesame seeds have a delicious nutty flavor. For an even coating, press them into the chicken so they stick. The seeds can spoil quickly, so refrigerate any unused ones. Thinly sliced beef, turkey, or pork may be substituted for the chicken in this warm salad.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 medium English cucumbers (1 pound total), cut into 3/4-inch wedges
1/3 cup white sesame seeds
4 to 6 chicken cutlets (about 3/4 pound total)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound baby bok choy, quartered lengthwise, or regular bok choy, roughly chopped
1 to 2 jalapenos (preferably red), thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

SESAME CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame Chicken Salad image

Flavorful and so delicious, this sesame chicken salad will wow you!

Provided by MommyBennett

Categories     BBQ & Grilling     Chicken     Salads

Time 8h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 medium head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
¼ medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, shredded
½ cup crispy fried rice noodles

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger for marinade together in a small bowl; pour over chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine mayonnaise, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger for dressing in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you cook the chicken.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • While the chicken is cooking, place sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium-high heat. Shake the pan like you are making popcorn and toast until seeds give off a lovely toasted smell, 3 to 5 minutes. Quickly remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool; if you leave them in the pan they will continue to cook and burn.
  • Place napa cabbage, green cabbage, and carrot in a large bowl with chicken and toasted sesame seeds. Toss together, then mix in the dressing. Divide salad onto plates and top with crispy fried noodles.
