Cooking Steps
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Whisk soy, sesame oil and rice vinegar together in a large bowl.
- Measure out 1 tsp (2 tsp) of the soy mixture. Pour into a small bowl. Set aside.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
- Add 1/2 tbsp oil to the same pan (used in step 1), then chicken. (NOTE: Cook chicken in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Pan-fry until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. Transfer chicken to an parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush chicken with the reserved soy-mixture.
- Roast chicken in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-10 min.**
- Meanwhile, peel clementine and separate into segments.
- Cut cucumber into 1/4-inch half moons.
- Massage cabbage in the bag, until slightly softened, 30 sec.
- Add mayo to remaining soy-mixture and whisk to combine. Season with 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) garlic salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add spring mix, cabbage, cucumbers and clementine. Toss to combine.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide salad between bowls.
- Top with chicken.
