For the chicken: Place chicken breasts in a gallon size zip-top bag. Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken. Let chicken marinate 15 minutes, then grill or cook in a skillet until cooked through. Let chicken rest 5 minutes, then cut into thin slices.
For the dressing: Toast the sesame seeds by heating them in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until they darken slightly and become fragrant. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar, add the lid, and shake vigorously. Give the jar another good shake right before serving.
For the salad: Divide the romaine and cabbage evenly between 4 plates. Top with sliced chicken, dressing, and desired toppings.
NOTES
- Look for mandarin oranges that are packed in water. If using oranges packed in syrup, lightly rinse them in water before using.
