Cold Soba Salad with Roast Chicken

This refreshing salad is the perfect summer meal. Tender soba noodles are mixed together with crisp fresh vegetables under a blanket of spicy peanut dressing and finished with a shower of sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves. We recommend using bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, because they stay juicy after roasting; you can remove the skin before serving if desired.
