Juicy Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken fillets
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups napa cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start by marinating the chicken fillets. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and garlic. Place the chicken fillets in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over, and let them sit for at least 20 minutes.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken fillets for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let them rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
  • While the chicken rests, prep your salad base. In a large bowl, combine the napa cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and green onions. Toss lightly.
  • Add the sliced chicken on top of the veggies. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
  • Drizzle any extra marinade over the salad or serve with additional soy sauce and rice vinegar on the side if you want more flavor.
