Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  6. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

  7. In a large bowl, combine the shredded carrots, sliced red bell pepper, julienned cucumber, chopped green onions, and cilantro.

  8. Add the mixed salad greens to the bowl and toss gently to combine.

  9. Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the salad mixture.

  10. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the salad and chicken.

  11. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for added crunch and flavor.

  12. Serve immediately and enjoy.
