SESAME SNAP PEA-CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame Snap Pea-Chicken Salad image

This simple salad features crisp-tender sugar snap peas, delicate shredded chicken and creamy sesame dressing. The cooking methods are important here: Blanching the peas, then shocking them in ice water ensures that they retain crunch and color, while gently poaching the boneless chicken breast and plunging it into an ice water bath means it stays moist. The tangy dressing, which is a nod to the highly addictive Japanese-style goma dressing, is made with earthy roasted sesame seeds and mayonnaise; it finds its way to the craggy edges of the shredded chicken. Try to shred the meat the same size as the sliced peas for the best texture. This salad is great to serve immediately, and even better after spending at least an hour in the refrigerator.

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings (about 4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 8 to 10 ounces)
Kosher salt
3/4 to 1 pound sugar snap peas
1/4 cup roasted white sesame seeds
1/4 cup mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie brand)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, add the chicken and enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water begins to boil, lower heat immediately to a gentle simmer, cover partially with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. (Monitor that the bubbles never get too big; lower heat if so.) Turn off the heat, cover completely with lid, and leave on the stovetop for another 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sugar snap peas: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When it begins to boil, set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Drop sugar snap peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 45 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sugar snap peas to the ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry on a clean dish towel in a single layer.
  • Transfer sugar snap peas to a cutting board and trim the tips, if needed, then slice lengthwise into thirds on a slight diagonal. Transfer to a large bowl or lidded container, and refrigerate.
  • Prepare the dressing: In a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the sesame seeds, leaving some whole. In a small bowl, combine ground sesame seeds, mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until smooth.
  • Set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Transfer the chicken to the ice water to cool completely. When chicken is cool enough to handle, pat dry, then finely shred the meat using your fingers. The shreds should be similar in size to the cut sugar snap peas.
  • Add the shredded chicken and all of the dressing to the chilled snap peas; toss gently until coated. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 day.

SESAME-SCALLION CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame-Scallion Chicken Salad image

This reimagined chicken salad is lighter and leafier than your standard picnic lunch. Tender poached chicken, crisp greens, cukes, and scallions get tossed with a sesame dressing that takes its cues form gomae, a Japanese spinach salad.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Lunch     Dinner     Salad     Chicken     Cucumber     Green Onion/Scallion     Sesame     Lettuce     Cilantro     Soy Sauce     Honey     Poach     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Dairy Free     Picnic

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (1-1½ lb. total)
3 Tbsp. kosher salt, plus more
3 scallions, thinly sliced on a deep diagonal
3 Persian cucumbers
½ cup toasted sesame seeds, divided
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. tahini
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. honey
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
¼ head of romaine or green or red leaf lettuce or 1 head of Little Gem lettuce
Big handful of cilantro leaves with tender stems
½ lime (for serving)

Steps:

  • Bring chicken, 3 Tbsp. kosher salt, and 5 cups water to a bare simmer in a medium pot over medium heat (chicken should be submerged). Be patient-this will take a little while. Once liquid begins to simmer, reduce heat to low and cook (water should not be simmering at all now) until juices run clear when thickest part of chicken is pierced, 8-10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a medium bowl; discard poaching liquid. Let chicken sit until cool enough to handle, then shred meat into big pieces; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, place scallions in a small bowl and pour in very cold water to cover; let soak 10 minutes.
  • Drain scallions in a mesh sieve or colander, then rinse under cold running water, swishing vigorously to rinse and to encourage them to curl up. Shake off as much water as possible and place in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Working one at a time, slice cucumbers in half crosswise, then slice each piece in half lengthwise. Place quarters cut side down and slice in half lengthwise again to create 8 pieces total per cucumber. Add to bowl with reserved chicken.
  • Set 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds aside in a small bowl for serving. Crush remaining sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle until some of the seeds have turned to powder, but with plenty of whole seeds left. (Alternatively, you can pulse seeds a few times in a food processor or spice mill, then transfer to a medium bowl before proceeding). Add lime juice, tahini, soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes and mash to create a paste. Add ¼ cup water and whisk to combine (if you don't have a small enough whisk, work in with the pestle). Taste and season with salt.
  • Add lettuce and cilantro to bowl with reserved scallions. Pour half of dressing over and toss to coat. Arrange on a platter. Pour remaining dressing over chicken and cucumbers, toss to coat, and arrange over greens. Top salad with reserved 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds and squeeze juice from lime half over.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH LEMON-SESAME DRESSING



Chicken Salad With Lemon-Sesame Dressing image

This main-dish salad is inspired by chicken larb, which is a dance of contrasts: light but rich, with tender meat, crunchy vegetables and seasonings that span sour, sweet, spicy and savory. This recipe dresses lean-but-juicy ground chicken or turkey with sesame oil, fresh lemon, miso, ginger, basil and celery, but there are many ways to adapt it: You could sauté crumbled tofu or cubed salmon instead of the chicken; or add yuzu kosho, wasabi paste or fried garlic. It's good on its own, or with roasted potatoes, grains, salad greens, soba noodles or wrapped in nori.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weeknight, poultry, salads and dressings, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more for serving
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup white or yellow miso
1 large lemon, zested and juiced (about 1 tablespoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced, leaves reserved
1 cup basil leaves, large ones torn in half
2 tablespoons black or white sesame seeds, or a combination (or furikake)

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-low. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until opaque and just cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes. (You're not looking to brown the meat here, which would risk drying it out.) Remove from heat to cool.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the miso, lemon zest and juice, ginger and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil.
  • When the chicken is no longer hot (warm or cool both work), use a slotted spoon to add it to the bowl with the dressing, leaving any chicken juices behind. Stir to combine. Add the sliced celery, celery leaves, basil and sesame seeds; stir to combine. Taste, and if it needs more spice, add black pepper; if it's bland, add salt; if it's dry, add sesame oil. Eat warm or at room temperature. (Leftovers will keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)

SESAME CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame Chicken Salad image

Flavorful and so delicious, this sesame chicken salad will wow you!

Provided by MommyBennett

Categories     BBQ & Grilling     Chicken     Salads

Time 8h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 medium head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
¼ medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, shredded
½ cup crispy fried rice noodles

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger for marinade together in a small bowl; pour over chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine mayonnaise, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger for dressing in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you cook the chicken.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • While the chicken is cooking, place sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium-high heat. Shake the pan like you are making popcorn and toast until seeds give off a lovely toasted smell, 3 to 5 minutes. Quickly remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool; if you leave them in the pan they will continue to cook and burn.
  • Place napa cabbage, green cabbage, and carrot in a large bowl with chicken and toasted sesame seeds. Toss together, then mix in the dressing. Divide salad onto plates and top with crispy fried noodles.

SESAME-MISO CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame-Miso Chicken Salad image

There's always room for another chicken salad recipe, especially if the assembly is quick. This one calls for a whole cooked chicken, which you can roast or boil gently several hours ahead or up to 2 days in advance. (Some may choose to buy a precooked rotisserie chicken, but it can sometimes be hard to find one that is seasoned or cooked properly. If you can find a good one, go for it.) The creamy miso dressing can also be used to dress a green salad, or to replace mayonnaise on a sandwich. It also makes a great dip for vegetables.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, poultry, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons Asian sesame paste or tahini
4 tablespoons white (shiro) miso
3 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin, sake or sherry
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
Small pinch of cayenne (optional)
1 (3-pound) chicken, cooked
2 heads small organic iceberg, Little Gems or romaine hearts
2 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick, lightly salted
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions or chives
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
1 teaspoon toasted black sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put sesame paste, miso, vinegar, mirin, ginger, sugar and lemon zest in a small mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined. Whisk in sesame and vegetable oils. Check seasoning and adjust with salt, pepper and cayenne, if using. You should have about 2/3 cup dressing. If it seems too thick, thin with a tablespoon or 2 of water.
  • Remove skin from chicken and pull all the meat from the carcass. With fingers or a knife, shred all the chicken meat into 1-inch strips and put in a medium mixing bowl. (Refrigerate or freeze any remaining skin, fat, bones and cartilage for making broth.) You should have about 4 cups shredded chicken.
  • Separate the lettuce leaves and arrange on a large platter, leaving space for the chicken at the center, then scatter with cucumber slices.
  • Gently toss the shredded chicken with salt and pepper. Pour all but a few tablespoons of dressing over the chicken and gently toss to coat. Transfer dressed chicken to center of platter and nap with remaining dressing. Sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds on top and serve.
