- 1/2 bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 apple (cored and thinly sliced)
Homemade Oriental Dressing Ingredients- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds (lightly crushed for more flavor)
- A small handful of nuts (optional, for garnish)
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds (lightly crushed for more flavor)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Marinate the Chicken Breast: Rinse the chicken breast under cold water and pat it completely dry with paper towels. Place the chicken breast in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, a dash of ginger powder, and 1 Tbsp of cooking wine. Gently mix to coat and let it marinate for about 10 minutes. This step helps to remove any gamey odor and ensures the chicken breast is tender and flavorful.
Step 2
Make the Homemade Oriental Dressing: In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 3 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp honey, and 1 Tbsp sesame seeds. Whisk with a fork or whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste and adjust the sweetness or saltiness to your preference. This creates a refreshing dressing that enhances the natural flavors of the fresh ingredients.
Step 3
Cook and Slice the Chicken Breast: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breast and cook for about 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, let it cool slightly before slicing or dicing it into bite-sized pieces. This ensures it’s easy to eat in the salad.
Step 4
Assemble the Salad: Arrange the washed and dried mixed greens attractively on a large plate or in a bowl. Top the greens with the sliced cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced bell pepper, and apple. Finally, generously drizzle the homemade oriental dressing over the salad. Sprinkle with a handful of nuts if desired for added crunch and nutty flavor. Enjoy your healthy and delicious chicken breast salad!
