It’s loaded with fresh vegetables and chicken and tossed in a light dressing. The crunchy noodles are totally optional, but they just give the salad a little extra something. Feeling zesty? Add in some fresh chopped pineapple. Make sure to marinate chicken before grilling to lock-in that yummy teriyaki flavor. Get creative and enjoy it!

Ingredients

1/2 tsp. sesame oil
2 tbsp. fresh ground ginger
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 cup raw honey
1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp. sesame seeds
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1/2 cup carrots, grated or spiralized
1/2 medium fresh pineapple, chopped
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 chicken breast, cut into half

Method

01

Whisk together reduced-sodium soy sauce, raw honey, sea salt, black pepper, minced garlic, fresh ground ginger, and sesame oil in a small glass bowl. Add 1/3 of the mixture to a large freezer bag or small glass bowl.
02

Add chicken and marinate 1 hour up to overnight. When ready to cook, let the chicken sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
03

Meanwhile, grease and preheat grill to medium heat, 375 °F. Grill the chicken undisturbed for 5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 165 degrees F when chicken is done.)
