Shredded Teriyaki Chicken Salad Recipe by Tasty

Step 1

Make the teriyaki sauce: In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame seeds, ginger, and garlic. Whisk to combine and dissolve the sugar.

Step 2

Butterfly the chicken breasts, then place in a high-walled baking dish. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, reserving ½ cup (120 ml) of the sauce. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a baking sheet with foil.

Step 4

Make the dressing: While whisking, slowly drizzle the olive oil into the reserved teriyaki sauce.

Step 5

Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160˚F (70˚C). Let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, use 2 forks to shred the chicken. Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) dressing over the chicken and toss to coat.

Step 7

Prepare the salad: Add the lettuce to a large bowl. Top with the mango, bell peppers, green beans, avocado, and shredded chicken. Add the remaining dressing and toss well.

Step 8

Divide between serving bowls and top with the scallions.

Step 9

Enjoy!
