Method

Mix 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil with five-spice powder and salt.

Rub on all sides of each chicken breast.

Let the chicken rest in the refrigerator while preparing the noodles.

Bring a large pot of water to a simmer over medium heat.

Add the noodles and cook until tender, about 6 minutes (timing may vary depending on noodles; check the directions on package for cooking time).

Drain and toss with remaining teaspoon sesame oil in a medium bowl.

Cover and refrigerate.

Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.

Grill chicken on both sides until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

While chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, wasabi, garlic, salt and pepper.

In a salad bowl, combine chilled noodles with romaine.

Toss with the prepared dressing.

Slice chicken into strips and layer across the top of the salad. Garnish with water chestnuts.
