This has been one of our stand-by recipes for the past few years. It is fresh and light and we almost always have everything we need to make it! I'm not sure of the original source for this recipe - I got it from my mama (mamas always know best, don't they?). Tonight I kept it super simple, I didn't even marinate the chicken, just a little salt + pepper before throwing it on the grill pan. You can use pretty much whatever veggies/salad stuff you have on hand. I used romaine salad mix, carrots, purple cabbage and cucumbers. The key players are the mandarin oranges and the crunchy chow mein noodles. The star of the show is the dressing....we'll call it Kate's Lite Sesame Dressing, in honor of Mom :)
Kate's Lite Sesame Dressing
1/4 c. light mayo
2 + 1/2 T. rice vinegar
1 T. sugar
2 + 1/2 t. sesame oil
2 + 1/2 t. soy sauce
1/4 t. garlic powder
Whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl, makes approx 2-3 servings. Enjoy!
I recently learned the following tip on grilling chicken:
* Use a meat mallet to flatten out the chicken + make it a uniform thickness.
I have had amazing results since I started doing this!
