2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 cups water

1 tablespoon butter (Optional)
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

Mix soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl; rub mixture over chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook marinated chicken in the hot skillet until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Dice chicken when cool enough to handle and transfer to a large bowl.

Mix rice, mandarin oranges, water chestnuts, green onion, celery, and almonds with diced chicken; toss well. Chill mixture in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Line a large platter with lettuce leaves; top with chicken mixture. Sprinkle noodles around salad.
