A portion of the marinade performs double-duty—we add it to the delicious orange-and-peanut–flavored salad dressing. The marinade in this recipe is bold enough to flavor chicken in just 15 minutes. If you prefer to assemble the chicken the night before, you can marinate it in a zip-close plastic bag in the refrigerator overnight. Also, when buying fresh ginger, look for smooth, shiny skin without wrinkles. Fresh ginger can be stored up to several weeks wrapped in paper towels in an unsealed plastic bag in the refrigerator. Or place sliced or minced peeled ginger in a plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to several months.

Instructions

Line the broiler pan with foil; preheat the broiler. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in the broiler pan. Broil 5 inches from the heat until browned, about 7 minutes. Turn the chicken and broil until cooked through, about 1 minute longer. Let stand 5 minutes. Slice the chicken and toss with the salad greens, onion, carrot, and dressing in a large bowl until combined. Yields 2 cups per serving.
