Ingredients

    Romaine Lettuce (one bunch)
    1 frozen chicken breast -- no skin, boneless
    4 tbsp of sesame oil
    4 tbsp of Tamari (wheat free) OR regular soy sauce
    1/4 cup of raw scallions, chopped -- optional, adjust to taste
    1/2 cup raw grated carrot
    1/4 cup dry roasted unsalted cashews (halves and pieces) -- optional

Directions

1.) Defrost the chicken in a microwave-safe bowl with some water, for about 5 minutes.
2.) While the chicken is defrosting, wash and prepare all veggies (cut lettuce and scallions, grate carrots).
3.) After chicken has defrosted, cook it on the stove on medium heat, or in the microwave. Add 1 tsp of sesame oil and 1 tsp of soy sauce/tamari sauce.
4). Once chicken is cooked (5-10 minutes), let it cool for a few minutes.
5.) After chicken has cooled, chop into small pieces. Toss into salad, along with cashews. Mix 2 tbsp of Sesame oil and 2 tbsp of soy sauce together, then mix into salad. This will be the dressing.
