Sticky chicken salad with grilled chicken, crisp colourful vegetables, and Asian dressings. Getting bored of regular chicken salad or can't decide on which salad you wanna make for your family and friends? Make everyone happy and hungry by choosing this sticky chicken salad!!

Sticky Chicken Salad

It's a light dish that we can eat not just as the main dish, but also as an appetizer or side dish, or it's an ideal summer supper. The choice totally up to you.

What is Sticky Chicken Salad

This healthy salad is basically made of a grilled chicken, glazed with aromatic sticky sauce topped over a bed crisp salad. So, it's a grilled chicken salad with a twist of Asian style!
You can find this salad at some of European Asian mixed restaurants or cafes. It's famous for its taste and inviting appearance that not only Asians but also people across the world crave for it.

As I am a person who loves salad with an abundance of veggies, it's always been on top of my favorite dish list. Besides, as there are mixed green vegetables contain, it's good for health and you can eat it alone (without rice or other dishes) especially when you're on diet!

It may seem like a quite complicated salad to make but in reality, it costs almost nothing and also very fast to serve with a few simple ingredients.

Asian Sticky Chicken Salad

Here is few ingredients you will need to make this salad

Protein

Although I've used chicken breast for this recipe, you can substitute with other of your favorite protein such as chicken thigh, beefsteak, duck, fish, or even taste great with shrimps. It goes really well with all types of protein, especially with salmon or sea bass fillet.

If you wish to make with skin-on chicken thigh or breast, pan-fry the skin side down first until crispy brown for 2-3 minutes, then turn side.

Vegetables

A handful mix salad leaves, shredded carrot, shredded cucumber, chilli is added to this recipe. You can add any veggies other than the mentioned. You can also put cherry tomatoes, shredded zucchini, red or shredded cabbage, etc. The more you put veggies, the healthier the salad!

Marinating Chicken

Garlic paste, ginger paste, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, and Chinese five spices are essential in the process of marinating chicken. These pastes, sauces, and spices are not actually hard to find at supermarkets or Asian/Oriental grocery stores.

Salad Dressing

You need only 4 simple ingredients to make the delicious dressing for the salad. Sweet chilli sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, and fresh lime juice. That's it! Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds in the finishing.

How to serve this dish?

It's so simple and light, you can eat with anything or alone coz it's just yummy and amazing just the way it is.
Or else, you can choose from a simple bowl of steamed rice to stir-fried rice and noodles. Your desirable other main and side dishes or soups can be accompanied too. But I feel like the perfect ideal side dish to eat together with it could be spring rolls and a simple hot and sour soup.

How to Make It

Slice the chicken breast or chicken thigh into cutlets. Add all the ingredients from the marinade list. Mix all the ingredients and rub it to chicken well. Set aside and marinate for 30 mins or overnight in the fridge.

Prepare the vegetables, shred the carrot and cucumber. Cut onion and chilli into thin slices. Mix all ingredients from the dressing sauce list in a bowl and set aside.

Drizzle a tablespoon of oil in grill pan. Heat the pan to medium heat. Place the chicken in the pan. Cook 2-3 mins till the chicken has nice grilled colour. Turn sides and cook for another 2-3 mins.

Pour the chicken marinate sauce in the pan. Continue cooking till the gravy start to thick.
Remove the chicken out from the pan and rest for few minutes. Cut into slices.

In a large mixing bowl add salad vegetables. Pour the dressing sauce in, mix well to combine all ingredients. Place salad in a serving plate.
