2 tbsp sesame oil (toasted)

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp lime juice (from 1 lime)

Salad Assembly

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the chicken for about 5 to 6 minutes per side until fully cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes, then shred with two forks.

Cook the soba noodles in boiling water according to package directions, usually about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and remove excess starch.
