📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the dressing: Put olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes into a blender. Blend until completely emulsified. Taste the dressing and adjust to your taste (I usually add more vinegar and brown sugar but tastes may vary.) (Note: Can make the dressing in advance to allow flavors to develop.)

Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken and heat olive oil in a skillet or on a grill pan. Cook the chicken on both sides over medium heat until it has nice color on the surface and is totally cooked through, about ⏱️ 10 minutes. Remove from heat, allow to rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes, and cut into cubes.

Place the cubed chicken into a bowl and pour 1/3 of the dressing over it, tossing to coat. Allow to sit for a few minutes, then sprinkle both colors of sesame seeds over the chicken and toss so that the seeds stick to the chicken. Add more seeds if you prefer a thicker coating.

To assemble the salad, place the salad greens, sliced onion, and the halved tomatoes in a large bowl. Pour on half the remaining dressing, reserving the rest if you'd like more later. Toss to coat. Arrange chicken, mandarin oranges all over the greens. Serve immediately.
