Ingredients (Portion for 1)

- 1 Chicken breast
- 2 cups of spring mix salad

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Start by marinating the chicken breast in 1 tablespoon of Spicy Chicken Ramen Sauce. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken breast for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and juicy. Once done, slice the chicken into small, bite-sized, pieces.
- Assemble the Salad: In a bowl, combine the spring mix salad with the remaining tablespoon of Spicy Chicken Ramen Sauce. Add the sliced chicken on top and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salad for a nutty crunch, and season with salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy your salad fresh and flavorful!
