Great for Newbie Cooks

I am a cooking newbie. Seriously, prior to this meal I mostly heated and microwaved stuff. I made this meal, it was filling and delicious. The only thing I changed was the fancy thing with the zest and dijon. Instead I bought an organic ginger-soy dressing that is olive oil based. I added it to the rub and used it as a light dressing. Saved the rest of the meat for a meal later this week!

Pros: Easy to prepare, savory meal!

Following other reader's comments, I doubled the rub, added lemon zest and honey to the dressing and strawberries to the salad. So good! I would also add a little more vinegar to the dressing at some toasted almonds to the salad for a little crunchy texture!

Pros: Delicious, easy

Following a reader's comment, I doubled the rub and it was delicious. This will become a regular in our household. Next time I will add fresh strawberries to the salad, adding some sweet to compliment the savory. I will also add a little honey and lemon zest to punch the dressing up a notch. This dish plus a whole wheat baguette was a complete meal, and so easy. Delicious!

My husband and I loved this recipe. We doubled the chicken rub ingredients to cover the chicken adaquately. and used spinach instead of Asian greens. The flavor of the chicken was wonderful! We will definetly make this again.
