- 6 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, (see Note)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
- 3 oranges
- 12 cups mixed Asian or salad greens
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 cup slivered red onion
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine 1 teaspoon oil, five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture into both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts; cook until browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn them over and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165°F), 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and segment two of the oranges, collecting segments and any juice in a large bowl. (Discard membranes, pith and skin.) Add the greens, bell pepper and onion to the bowl. Zest and juice the remaining orange. Place the zest and juice in a small bowl; whisk in vinegar, mustard, the remaining 4 teaspoons oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Pour the dressing over the salad; toss to combine. Slice the chicken and serve on the salad.
