    Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with arugula.

    5

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a dressing.

    Once the chicken is slightly cooled, slice it into strips and add it to the salad mixture.

    7

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently to coat.
