Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup poppy seed salad dressing, divided
¼ cup slightly crushed wasabi peas, divided
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, divided
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
1 large pear, peeled and slivered
½ cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/4 cup poppy seed dressing, 2 tablespoons wasabi peas, and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds in a large glass or ceramic bowl; add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place lettuce in a salad bowl; add pear, cranberries, remaining 2 tablespoons wasabi peas, and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame seeds.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cool chicken slightly and slice.
  • Pour remaining 1/4 cup poppy seed dressing over lettuce mixture; toss to coat. Top salad with sliced chicken.
