Manual:

- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper and cook for 8-10 minutes until easy release from the bread. Turn the chicken over and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165F in about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat, let it rest and chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces for about 3 minutes.
- To prepare the dressing, mix vinegar, ginger, lime juice, honey, sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly add the olive oil and whisk vigorously so that the dressing is well combined.
- To serve sweets, chicken, cabbage and carrots in a dressing. Top with cucumbers, avocados and green onions. It’s the season to taste with salt.
