The ingredients for Sesame Chicken Salad are:

16 oz skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 cups fresh green beans, sliced diagonally in 1/2" pieces
1/2 cup Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tsp lite soy sauce
dash cayenne pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional, I some people hate it)

2 cups water
salt to taste

Here is how you make Sesame Chicken Salad:

Bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Preheat oven or toaster to oven to 350 degrees. Spread sesame seeds out on a pan and toast them in the oven for about 5 minutes until they turn a little bit golden.Add the chicken breasts and set a timer for 7 minutes. When it rings, add the green beans and set a time for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and drain.Remove chicken and chop finely. Transfer to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the green beans, mayonnaise, honey, sesame seeds, soy sauce, cilantro (if desired), and a dash of cayenne pepper. Combine thoroughly. Taste it and add a bit more seasoning - cayenne, salt, soy sauce -- if desired.I spooned this by tablespoons into wonton cups that I'd made by lightly brushing 3" wonton skins with oil and pressing them, oiled side down, into mini-muffin tin cups and baking at 325 degrees for about 10 minutes until golden.The nutritional information is calculated on a 100-gram serving.
