    2 Place chicken in a shallow glass or ceramic dish, cover with spice marinade and turn to coat. Cover dish and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    3 Plunge greens into a large saucepan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes or until just tender. Refresh blanched greens under cold running water and drain. Place greens in a salad bowl with sesame oil, tamari and sesame seeds. Toss to coat and set aside.
