• 2 chicken breasts
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar

Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Combine with 1/3 cup syrup, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Marinate at least 30 minutes, up to 12 hours. Cook chicken and marinade in a medium saute pan over medium high heat until liquid dissolves and chicken begins to brown, stirring regularly.
For dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add 1/4 cup maple syrup and stir to combine. Slowly add oil, whisking until emulsified.
Place lettuce in a large salad bowl. Top with cooked chicken, blue cheese, strawberries, apples, and pecans. Serve with dressing on the side.
