Instructions

  1. Grill the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. Make the Ginger Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Assemble the Salad: Arrange the grilled chicken slices on top of the prepared salad. Drizzle the ginger dressing over the salad, or serve it on the side for individual portioning.
