Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, raw
  • 8 cups green leaf lettuce, chopped (290 grams)
  • 2 cups red cabbage, shredded (170 grams)
  • 1 1/2 cups English cucumber, julienned (180 grams)
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots (125 grams)
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped (6 grams)
  • 4 4 oz cups mandarin oranges (in water or juice), drained
  • 1/2 cup fried wonton strips (28 grams)
  • 1/2 cup Wegmans Spicy Citrus Ginger Sauce (4 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup Wegmans Sesame Ginger Dressing (4 fl oz)

Instructions

  • Marinate chicken. Add chicken breasts and 1/2 cup of Wegmans Spicy Citrus Ginger Sauce to a resealable bag. Seal the bag and massage the chicken and sauce around to distribute the sauce and coat the chicken evenly. Set aside in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Prepare salad ingredients. If meal prepping, add a piece of paper towel to the bottom of your 4 salad containers, then divide lettuce among the containers. Top with shredded cabbage, matchstick carrots, and cilantro.
  • In the salad tray or divided section of the container, add mandarin oranges and cucumbers. Divide the dressing among the dressing containers and seal. Set salad ingredients aside in the refrigerator.
  • Grill the chicken. Pre-heat grill to 400° and spray grill grates with non-stick grill spray or rub the grates with vegetable oil. Allow excess marinade to drip off of chicken, then add to hot grill. Grill 6 minutes on first side, then flip and continue grilling for 4-6 minutes or until internal temperature just reaches 165°.
  • Finish assembling salad. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and adding to the dedicated/divided section in your salad container, so that it does not touch any other ingredients.
  • Serve. When ready to eat, heat chicken for 30 seconds, then mix all ingredients and top with fried wonton strips.
