Wake up your taste buds with this bold and flavorful salad! Juicy, garlicky chicken is served atop a spinach salad tossed with shredded carrots, cucumber, and a scallion–sesame dressing. The star of the meal is a quick homemade bang bang sauce—a creamy, tangy, spicy combo of mayo, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and vinegar that ties the whole salad together.

Preparation
1
 Pickle Scallion

• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. • In a small bowl, combine scallion whites, half the vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle until ready to use in Step 5.

2
Season & Cook Chicken

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side (if your chicken is on the thicker side, cover the pan with a lid after flipping the chicken to ensure it cooks through). • Transfer to a cutting board to rest.

3
Prep

• While chicken cooks, trim, peel, and grate carrots on the largest holes of a box grater. Halve cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice into half-moons.

4
Make Bang Bang Sauce

• In a second small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha (use less if you prefer less heat), half the chili sauce, and 1 tsp vinegar (2 tsp for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the vinegar— we went more!) Season with salt and pepper if desired.

5
Mix Dressing & Toss Salad

• To bowl with pickled scallions, add sesame dressing, remaining chili sauce, and 1 TBSP oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Stir to combine. • In a large bowl, toss spinach, carrots, half the scallion greens, and half the cucumber with as much scallion-sesame dressing as you like. Season with salt if desired.

6
Finish & Serve

• Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide salad between bowls; top with chicken and remaining cucumber. Spoon bang bang sauce over chicken. Garnish with remaining scallion greens. Serve. ***Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
