Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

⅔ cup brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon garlic, grated
1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
½ cup olive oil
1 head green leaf lettuce, roughly chopped
1 mango, pitted and cubed
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
10 green beans, thinly sliced on the bias
1 avocado, sliced
1 scallion, greens only, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Make the teriyaki sauce: In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame seeds, ginger, and garlic. Whisk to combine and dissolve the sugar.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts, then place in a high-walled baking dish. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, reserving ½ cup (120 ml) of the sauce. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Make the dressing: While whisking, slowly drizzle the olive oil into the reserved teriyaki sauce.
  • Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160˚F (70˚C). Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, use 2 forks to shred the chicken. Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) dressing over the chicken and toss to coat.
  • Prepare the salad: Add the lettuce to a large bowl. Top with the mango, bell peppers, green beans, avocado, and shredded chicken. Add the remaining dressing and toss well.
  • Divide between serving bowls and top with the scallions.
  • Enjoy!
