Easy way to cook Asian Sesame Chicken Salad

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Coat the chicken and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Prepare the Dressing: Whisk together sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, garlic, and chili flakes. Set aside.
Chop Vegetables: Shred the cabbage, julienne the carrot, slice the bell pepper, and chop cilantro and green onions.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little sesame oil and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature 75°C/165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients.
Place the sliced chicken on top.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss well.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and toasted almonds.
