Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 8 ounces rice noodles
• 1 medium-sized, julienned cucumber
• 1 medium-sized, julienned carrot
• 1 julienned red bell pepper
• 1 cup, shredded red cabbage
• 2 stalks, thinly sliced green onions
• 0.25 cup, chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 1 cut into wedges lime
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the teriyaki mixture over the chicken, reserving the other half for later. Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then place the marinated chicken breasts in the pan. Cook for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Brush with reserved teriyaki sauce during cooking for extra flavor. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and set aside.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, red cabbage, green onions, and cilantro.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, reserved teriyaki sauce, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the noodle and vegetable mixture. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 8

Divide the noodle salad among serving bowls or plates. Top each with sliced teriyaki chicken and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
