How to make Grilled Asian Chicken with Bok Choy, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Radishes

Arrange all vegetables on large rimmed baking sheet. Brush vegetables lightly on both sides with 50g Mango-Sesame Dressing; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Grill chicken until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to cutting board. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Cool 2 chicken breasts; wrap and chill for Asian Chicken-Noodle Salad.
