  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame
  • 1/2 cup diced green onion

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into small cubes about 1 inch in size.
  2. Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade in a shallow bowl.

  4. In another bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the dressing until smooth.
  5. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  6. If you have a mandoline, use it to shred the cabbage; otherwise, a sharp knife will do just fine.

  9. Add in marinated chicken cubes but reserve remaining marinade for later.
  10. Cook on all sides for about 3 minutes or until browned.
  11. Pour in remaining marinade and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F and sauce thickens.
  12. Allow cooked chicken to cool slightly before adding it to your salad bowl.
  13. Toss salad with desired amount of dressing.
  14. Garnish with additional cilantro and sesame seeds before serving.
