The salad features tender teriyaki chicken breast atop a bed of mixed greens, with colorful vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers. This recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
6 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, or green)
1 cup cucumbers, sliced
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted (for garnish)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: additional teriyaki sauce for drizzling

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts and teriyaki sauce. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
Prepare the Salad: In a large serving bowl, add the mixed greens, bell peppers, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and red onion.

Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips and arrange it on top of the salad.
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the olive oil over the salad, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine. Optionally, drizzle additional teriyaki sauce for extra flavor.
Garnish and Serve: Top with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
