Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Peel and mince or grate ginger. Peel and dice half the oranges into bite-size pieces (set aside for use in Step 4). Zest and halve remaining orange. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; chop leaves into bite-size pieces. Trim and halve radishes; thinly slice into half-moons.
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, half the garlic powder (you'll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together ginger, orange zest, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, half the sesame oil, remaining garlic powder, ½ TBSP olive oil, and juice from orange halves (all the sesame oil and 1 TBSP olive oil for 4 servings).
Add lettuce, cabbage and carrot mix, radishes, and half the wonton strips to a large bowl. Transfer chicken to bowl.
Add dressing and toss until evenly coated.
Divide chopped chicken salad between bowls. Top with diced orange and remaining wonton strips. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the tangy, fresh taste, though some found the dressing too salty or acidic; adjusting soy sauce could help balance flavors.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, but some felt there was a lot of slicing and dicing involved.
- Suggestions: Consider adding cilantro, peanuts, or water chestnuts for extra crunch and flavor; using canned mandarins might improve sweetness 🍊.
- Portions: Several mentioned not enough lettuce for two servings; adding more greens or protein could make it more filling.
- Texture: Loved the crunch from wonton strips; some suggested thickening the dressing for better coating.
