Step 1

In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of pecan oil. While the oil is heating, season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken breasts and brown on both sides until completely done, about 15 minutes. Remove to a plate, cover and refrigerate.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked noodles and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle lightly with 1 tablespoon pecan oil. Cover and refrigerate.

Step 3

Peel the oranges and remove the seeds. Slice segments of the orange being careful to remove any white pith. Add the orange segments to the bowl of pasta.

Step 4

In the large mixing bowl, add the onions, tomatoes, asparagus, peas, jalapenos, basil, and mint. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze 2 tablespoons of the juice over the salad being careful to remove any seeds. Toss while drizzling lightly with the remaining pecan oil.

Step 5

Remove the cooled chicken from the refrigerator and slice into strips. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss again. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 6

For serving, mound the cold salad mixture in the center of a plate making sure to distribute the ingredients evenly. Pair with an ice-cold glass of Chardonnay.
