With perfectly juicy, tender teriyaki chicken and the most amazing peanut dressing ever! It’s quick, simple and perfect for a crowd!
Now that we are smack-dab in the middle of summer, it can only mean one thing.
It’s grilling season! And Walmart is the perfect resource to grab all of my summer needs. From their antibiotic-free chicken to their local grown produce, I can find everything I need for this gorgeous Asian chicken salad!
The chicken is combined with a simple teriyaki marinade (homemade or store-bought is fine), which is then grilled to perfection.
It’s juicy, it’s tender, and it’s packed with so much flavorful. Not to mention, it has the most perfect grill marks. Side note: if you don’t have access to a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop but note that it will get super smoky!
From there, we have all of our fun goodies – from the romaine lettuce to the shredded cabbage, carrots, cashews, cilantro, green onions and my two big time faves – chow mein noodles and mandarin oranges!
It’s so stinking easy, you can serve this up for a large crowd for easy entertaining, or you can whip this up on any given weeknight!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds Marketside Antibiotic Free Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce, homemade or store-bought
- 1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 head romaine, roughly chopped
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 ½ cups julienned carrots
- ¾ cup crunchy chow mein noodles
- 1 11-ounce can mandarin oranges, drained
- ½ cup roasted cashews
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
For the peanut dressing
- 5 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic and 1/4 cup warm water until smooth. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and teriyaki sauce; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
To assemble the salad, place romaine lettuce in a large bowl; top with chicken, cabbage, carrots, chow mein noodles, mandarin oranges, cashews, cilantro and green onions. Pour the peanut dressing on top of the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately.

I want to make this as part of a dinner for those at a homeless shelter (approximately 30). Any suggestions for what else to serve with it? Thanks

This salad was AMAZING and beautiful! Arranged it on a platter with rows for each salad ingredient and kebobs for the chicken grilled on top. Added some of the mandarin orange juice to thin the dressing and added wonton strips, toasted almonds to the salad and toasted sesame oil and fresh ginger root to the dressing. Will make this over and over. Just a wonderful balance of crunch and color and asian flavors. The ginger root was a welcome addition to this already yummy recipe.

I used premium salad and coleslaw packages because I’m too lazy to chop that many vegetables. I also used extra crunchy peanut butter and at least quadrupled the dressing ingredients because overkill is so underrated.
AND WOW!!! DAMN DELICIOUS
Thanks for the recipe

Very easy to make and so tasty! Made it exactly as listed just in slightly smaller portions since there is just two of us. It’s always hard to convince my partner that salad can be a meal but he loved this one so we’ll make it again. My dressing started out very thick and then I reread the instructions and noticed it says to add water and when I did it was perfect. It would be helpful to put the water in the ingredient list so it doesn’t get missed. Love this and now I’m excited to try some of your other recipes!

I really loved this and will make it again. And again. And again. However, the dressing didn’t turn out right. I wonder if it was supposed to be natural peanut butter? I just kept adding more soy sauce and rice vinegar and I also added oil until I got it to the consistency I wanted.

A thought on your question about not using peanuts. Can you use another type of butter? Cashew? etc.
Or…. I have a vinaigrette , easy homemade that goes great with this type of salad and adjust to your taste…
You’ll need a dressing container to place the following in:
1. Sesame seed oil and olive oil, use less of sesame oil for it is very strong in taste
2. Pepper
3. Buy a few cans of mandarin oranges, save the juice and use in dressing.
4. Shake it up!
That’s it.
You can add other things to it if you want to jazz it up a bit more.
Try it!

Sounds wonderful except for one thing…I have people with peanut/peanut butter allergies. Would the dressing be good without it, or would you suggest some other kind of dressing> Thank you!

Wow – I don’t normally comment on recipe sites but I have to say this salad was absolutely amazing. We made it exactly as written and everything was perfect. Such an amazing blend of flavours and was a very satisfying dinner. Thank you so much!!!

Not clear on the marinating time for the chicken. Recipe says “marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, up to 4 hours”???

Alice, you can marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight. Hope that helps!

I was going to buy a ready made store bought whole chicken. Would I still complete the same steps as far a marinating the chicken for a couple of hours?

I was just making this for dinner tonight and noticed that the 1/4 cup of warm water is missing from the ingredient list for the dressing.
