Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve mandarin. • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3-5 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step).
• Add chili sauce and juice from mandarin to pan with chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce has thickened and chicken is glazed and cooked through, 2-3 minutes more. • Remove pan from heat and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss salad with included dressing and crispy toppings. • Divide between bowls. Top with chicken and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Love how quick it was and healthy. Have been hoping to have more of this one on the menu but don't see it listed.
Could use a little bit more spice but that's personal preference. Totally awesome just the way it is.
Lovely healthy option that is easy. Fiance wanted more carbs but I loved this. Better for a lunch than dinner.
This was great! Wish this one was on the menu again!
This was good but a little too basic for a HelloFresh meal. Expect more from the service. I could've done this on my own.
