# Instructions:
01 -
Cut the chicken into small cubes. About 1 inch.
02 -
Whisk together all ingredients for the chicken marinade in a shallow bowl. Add in the chicken and let marinate while we prep everything else.
03 -
Whisk together all ingredients for the dressing and set aside.
04 -
I like to use a mandoline to shred the cabbage, but a regular knife will also work! Add all of the veggies to a large bowl.
05 -
Heat a skillet with a splash of oil over medium heat. Add in the chicken but leave aside the remaining marinade for now. Cook on all sides for about 3 minutes or until browned, then add in the remaining marinade. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the sauce has thickened.
06 -
Let cool slightly. Meanwhile, toss the salad with as much or as little dressing you like. Add in the chicken and toss to combine.
07 -
Garnish with more cilantro and sesame seeds and enjoy!
