Ingredients

FOR MARINATING
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken thin slices, breast or boneless thighs
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp golden mountain seasoning sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
FOR THE DRESSING
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 limes
  • 2 Fresh chilies chopped
  • 1/2 clove garlic minced
VEGETABLES & TOPPINGS (ADD TO TASTE)

Instructions

MARINATE THE CHICKEN
    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend honey, black pepper, golden mountain seasoning sauce, and oyster sauce in a large bowl to create a marinade.
  2. Thinly slice the chicken and add them to the marinade. Allow the chicken to soak in the flavors for at least 1 hour in your refrigerator.
GRILL THE CHICKEN
  1. Cook the marinated chicken fillets over charcoal or in a grilling pan over medium-low heat. A 2-minute grill on each side of the thinly sliced chicken fillets should do it.
  2. Once grilled, slice the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
MAKE THE SALAD DRESSING
  1. In a separate bowl, combined chopped chilies, garlic, honey, lime juice, and sesame oil. Blend well to achieve a flavorful dressing.
TOSS THE SALAD
  1. Combine the grilled chicken cuts and your choice of fresh vegetables in a large serving bowl. Before serving, drizzle with the prepared dressing, sprinkle a handful of roasted peanuts, and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • For the vegetables, I used a total of 18oz altogether. Mix and match to your personal preference.
  • Don't use all salad dressing at once. You'll want to keep some of the dressing for possible leftovers.
  • Pair with Thai peanut sauce for an extra sweet and nutty flavor.
