Teriyaki mayo chicken salad

My family favorite, Teriyaki mayo chicken salad

In this post I would like to share teriyaki mayo chicken salad.  As the name suggests, teriyaki chicken is coated with garlic mayonnaise and placed on a salad bed.  One day I saw the recipe on a Japanese cooking website where mayonnaise drizzled on top of pan-fried teriyaki chicken. It looked delicious, but there were many steps. So I changed it to make it easier and faster.  The family reaction was very good. In a blink of an eye, the plate became empty.

It seems teriyaki sauce is getting popular, since I see some teriyaki marinade sauces at local supermarkets nowadays.  Maybe people like savory salty sweet taste.  If you like to know more about teriyaki, click the link below.

How to make this salad

Firstly make fried chicken, add fried chicken to teriyaki sauce and mix until chicken is well coated with teriyaki sauce.  Then mix the chicken with garlic mayonnaise.  Place the chicken on fresh vegetable salad. 

Regarding chicken, you can use either boneless chicken breast or thighs.  If you like lighter taste,  chicken breast may be a good choice.  

As for salad, I often use salad leaves, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and onion. However, you can use anything you like, such as paprika, carrot, celery etc. You can buy a bag of fresh salad leaves at supermarkets.  I love baby salad leaves and I find the bag very handy and easy because you only have to open the bag.  

Since the teriyaki mayo chicken is well seasoned, you can eat a lot of fresh vegetables.

We eat this dish with baguette, but I think other breads and potato dishes are good too.

Let’s move to the recipe.
