Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 head Boston lettuce
1 large Asian pear
1/2 seedless cucumber
2 scallions
1 c. mung bean sprouts
1/2 c. roasted wasabi peas

Instructions

In a large saucepan, cover the chicken breasts with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook over moderately low heat until the chicken is white throughout, about 12 minutes. Transfer the poached chicken breasts to a plate and let stand until cooled slightly, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the rice vinegar, wasabi powder, Asian sesame oil, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of water and season with salt and pepper.
In a large serving bowl, toss the lettuce with the Asian pear slices, cucumber, scallions, bean sprouts, and 2/3 cup of the wasabi dressing. Slice the chicken breasts crosswise 1/4 inch thick and lay the slices on top of the salad. Spoon the remaining wasabi dressing over the chicken breasts, sprinkle with the chopped wasabi peas, and serve at once.
