For the chicken:

Preheat the oven to 375℉.

Pat the chicken breasts dry and drizzle them with the oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Roast in the preheat oven until the chicken is browned and register 165℉, 1620 minutes. Once roasted, remove the chicken from the oven and set aside to cool.

Once cooled, shred the chicken into bitesized pieces.

In a small skillet, combine the pumpkin seeds, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup, kosher salt, and black pepper. Set the skillet over medium heat and stir. Continue stirring, toasting the pumpkin seeds until they are glazed, 58 minutes.

For the salad:

To the bowl with the dressing, add the shredded cabbage, shredded chicken, green onion, apple, brokenup ramen noodles, and pumpkin seeds. Mix well and serve immediately.
