How many times have you gone out for lunch to grab your favorite Asian chicken salad, only to gasp when you read the nutritional info? The numbers are insane, right? 😮 And they never put enough chicken on them!

Well, fear those number no more! You can now make your favorite salad right at home, with 32 g of protein (if you want even more, you can add some edamame). And call me crazy, but I think this one tastes even better. Warmer weather is officially here, so now’s the perfect time to try this delicious salad. With 31 g fat, this is the perfect option for those days when you need more fat and fewer carbs.

Ingredients

• chicken breast- 4 oz
• teriyaki sauce (no high fructose corn syrup)- 1 tbsp
• mayo (made with avocado or olive oil)- 2 tbsp
• sesame oil- 1/2 tsp
• tamari- 1/2 tsp
• spinach- 1 cup
• cucumber- 1/4
• orange bell pepper- 1/4
• snap peas- 1/2 cup
• slivered almonds- 1 tbsp

Instructions

1. Slice the cucumbers, bell pepper and snap peas
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat
3. Brush the chicken with teriyaki sauce and let sit for 5 minutes
4. In a small bowl, mix the mayo, sesame oil and tamari
5. Grill the chicken for 16-20 minutes (depending on the size and thickness of the breasts). I would cook them for 6-8 minutes per side, flipping after that to make sure they cook through
6. Place the spinach, pepper, cucumber, and peas on a plate. Top with grilled chicken, and the drizzle with the mayo dressing. Top with the slivered almonds, and you’re good to go! Enjoy!
