Instructions
Chicken
Marinate your chicken in the dressing for at least an hour. Overnight is best, but in a pinch, you can get away with an hour.
I barbecued my marinated chicken for faster cooking. But you can bake it in the oven as well. Whatever you want to do to get it fully cooked.
When cooked, slice or chop and set aside until you're ready to toss it into the salad.
Ramen Noodles
In a skillet, combine the oil and noodles and turn the heat on high.
Stir the noodles constantly for about 5-8 minutes. The noodles will puff up.
Once they are puffed, stir in the sesame seeds and toss for a minute more.
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool completely while you make everything else.
Salad
Prep all the salad ingredients and toss them together in a large mixing bowl.
Dressing
Whisk together all the dressing ingredients.
Reserve just enough to give the chicken some marinade (about ½ a cup for two chicken breasts)
