  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with cooking oil. Cook marinated chicken for 7-10 minutes until golden brown; allow to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Veggies: While chicken cools, slice cabbage, shred carrots, chop cucumber, and dice bell pepper.
  4. Whisk Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar (if using), and sesame seeds; whisk until blended.
  5. Assemble Salad: Toss together veggies and cooled chicken in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over top and gently mix until well-coated.
