Five Spice Chicken And Orange Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
    1 teaspoon five-spice powder (see Ingredient note)
    1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, plus more to taste
    1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
    3 oranges
    12 cups greens (asian blend, roamine etc)
    1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
    1/2 cup red onion, very thinly sliced
    3 tablespoons cider vinegar
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
    Combine 1 teaspoon oil, five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
    Rub the mixture into both sides of the chicken breasts.
    Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
    Add chicken breasts; cook until browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn them over and transfer the pan to the oven.
    Roast until the chicken is just cooked through (6- 8 minutes or until an instant read thermometer reads 165*F).
    Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes (it will finish cooking as it rests).
    Meanwhile, peel and segment two of the oranges collecting segments and any juice in a large bowl.
    Discard membranes, pith and skin.
    Add the greens, bell pepper and onion to the bowl.
    Zest and juice the remaining orange.
    Place the zest and juice in a small bowl; whisk in vinegar, mustard, the remaining 4 teaspoons oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
    Pour the dressing over the salad; toss to combine.
    Slice the chicken and serve on the salad.
