Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 minced garlic clove to the chicken. Mix well to coat and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken strips to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the red bell pepper, carrot, green onions, and the remaining 1 minced garlic clove. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large serving bowl, assemble the salad by placing the mixed greens as the base. Layer on the stir-fried chicken and vegetables.
Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss to combine.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salad for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
