Description
I saw this featured on a slideshow from delish. It is a great variation on a salad – the dressing is nice and has a little zip to it too! You'll want to marinate the chicken for at least an hour before cooking (but you could do it the night before to make for a fast meal the next day) – which is included in the prep time.
