Asian Grilled Chicken Salad

The best thing about this dish is that there are no messy pans to clean. With the heat in this town still at triple digits, this meal was light and easy to throw together. No slaving over a hot stove.

Ingredients:

Raw chicken breast tenders or chicken breasts sliced thinly
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 T worcestershire sauce
1/2 lime
2 garlic pods roughly chopped
1 box Spring Mix salad or head of butter lettuce
1/2 cup sliced or shredded carrots
1/2 red bell pepper, julienned
1/2 cup crushed peanuts (put in plastic bag and hammer with a mallet)
SASS sesame-garlic salad dressing

Make a marinade for the chicken with soy sauce, worcestershire, lime juice, and garlic. Marinate chicken tenders for 30 minutes to an hour. Cook on the grill on medium heat for about 4 minutes per side or until done. Careful not to overcook. While chicken is cooking, combine lettuce with carrots and bell pepper. Pour SASS dressing over salad and toss.

On plates, place a generous salad portion, then top with crushed peanuts. Lay chicken tenders over salad and serve. Yum!
