In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger for the marinade. Add the chicken breast and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes, then shred or dice it.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) to make the dressing.
Add the cooked chicken, toasted almonds, and crispy chow mein noodles to the salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately.
Notes
This salad is best served fresh. You can adjust the sweetness and spice level of the dressing to your preference.
