1. Prepare the Chicken: If not already cooked, grill or poach the chicken until fully cooked. Allow it to cool, then shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Chop the Vegetables: Wash and chop the mixed greens. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and chop the green onions.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, green onions, and cooked chicken.
4. Add Almonds and Noodles: Gently toss in the sliced almonds and crispy chow mein noodles for added crunch.
5. Dress the Salad: Pour the sesame dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is coated evenly.
