Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, mandarin orange segments, chow mein noodles, sliced almonds, and green onions.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with the sliced chicken and serve immediately. Enjoy!
