What's In This Article
Sticky Chicken Salad is a flavorful, Asian inspired meal ready in just 30 minutes. Delicious, healthy, and great for the whole family.
Here I am, all alone for dinner deciding what to make. I take one individually wrapped PERDUE® PERFECT PORTIONS® Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh pouch out of the freezer. Wait for it…
The phone rings and it looks like I’ll now be making dinner for three, so I take out two more, using only what I need.
My household is constantly busy and it is rare that I only cook for one. With the numbers constantly changing, having individually wrapped portions makes it easy for me to serve 1 or 8 in a jiff.
PERDUE® PERFECT PORTIONS® can be prepared in 30 minutes or less, times vary based on being frozen or thawed.
PERDUE® chickens are always fed a 100% vegetarian diet, including locally sourced corn and soybeans, and marigolds with no added hormones or steroids.
Feel good about what you feed your family and look for PERDUE® PERFECT PORTIONS® Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs in your local grocery store and let me know how much you LOVE them!
PERDUE® Sticky Chicken Salad is a quick meal perfect for summertime. No heating up the kitchen, just the grill and a quick microwave and ready in just 30 minutes. While the chicken can be marinated ahead of time, you can just as easily baste while grilling.
The marinade is versatile and can also be used as the salad dressing, if desired. Just reserve a small portion prior to grilling your Sticky Chicken.
Sticky Chicken can also be served over white or fried rice. Make sure you check out my 7 tips for more interesting salads before you starting chopping!

Sticky Chicken Salad
Ingredients
Chicken:
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon bottled grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha if desired
Salad
- 8 cups mixed greens or desired lettuce
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers chopped
- 1 inch bunch scallions cut into 1pieces
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1 bunch asparagus ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds if desired
- 1/2 cup Ginger Dressing
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine ketchup through Sriracha, whisk to combine. If you plan to use the marinade as dressing, set aside a small bowl. If marinating, add chicken, cover and marinate for 1-6 hours. Otherwise, heat grill to medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Place Chicken Thighs on the grill and generously baste with marinade. Cook on each side for 6-8 minutes, continuing to baste. Remove when done and set aside until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, place asparagus in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1/4 cup water, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 3 minutes.
- Combine all ingredients for Ginger Dressing in a small dish and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Evenly divide lettuce and other salad ingredients between four large salad bowls, including asparagus and sesame seeds. Top each salad with two Sticky Chicken Thighs and Ginger Dressing. Enjoy your meal!

I actually just saw these Perdue Perfect Portions at our local grocery store the other day. They are a great option, especially for a single person or a couple. This sticky chicken salad looks so delicious!
That salad looks gorgeous! I think I’d love it!
That looks delicious! I really like Perdue brand. In fact we just had some of their chicken the other day!
The looks delicious! Pinned to my Chicken Recipe Board
I LOVE PERDUE®! That chicken looks SO SO yummy! I can’t wait to try this recipe this week!
That looks delicious! I love Perdue chicken. I just feel good knowing that their chicken has no hormones or other additives.
I want this for dinner tonight. Looks amazing! Love that you shared your recipe. I’ll have to make this one night soon.
Pretty photos – I’m all about asian inspired dishes. Soy and honey and brown sugar, yum!
My husband and I would love this recipe. We eat a lot of chicken in our house. I love when it’s packaged individually – so easy to make two pieces or six!
Oh what a great looking salad!! And that dressing! Yum!
This looks yummy. I love those perdue packages, but I didn’t know they came in thighs. My grocery store only has the breasts. I wish I had the thighs around.
That sounds delish and simple. Will have to look for this.
This sounds really good. I’ve never had sticky chicken before.
Sticky chicken is my favorite. This looks DELICIOUS!
I am a thigh man so I was happy to see that above. And your marinade looks delicious and gives a colorful top to the chicken dish!
thanks,
Mitch
That ginger dressing sounds amazing!
Nice photos!
That looks really tasty.Love sticky chicken.
You forgot that they’ve removed a step when you get home from the grocery store! You don’t have to fuss around with the individual portions yourself. 10 minutes so you can eat a few cookies (if that is what one does with 10 minutes of his or her time;)
You are so right, Christine! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to come home only to re-package the chicken I’ve bought. Or the fact that my grocer sells chicken breasts in 3-breast packages, so if it is just hubby and I have 1 extra, but if we have friends over I have to buy two packages. I know they do it on purpose to sell more. PERDUE also sells individually packaged chicken breasts!
Now I’m hungry! That is a meal that would go over big in my house for sure.
