• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar

• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 minced garlic clove to the chicken. Mix well to coat and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the marinated chicken strips to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the red bell pepper, carrot, green onions, and the remaining 1 minced garlic clove. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

In a large serving bowl, assemble the salad by placing the mixed greens as the base. Layer on the stir-fried chicken and vegetables.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss to combine.

Step 9

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salad for garnish, if desired.
