How to Make Asian Chicken Cole Slaw
- **Prepare the Chicken:** Cook 1.5 cups of cooked chicken breast (grilled, baked, or shredded rotisserie chicken works great). Set aside to cool slightly.
- **Make the Slaw:** In a large bowl, combine 8 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, and the cooked chicken.
- **Whisk the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
- **Combine & Chill:** Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or longer for maximum flavor).
- **Garnish & Serve:** Before serving, sprinkle with 1/4 cup slivered almonds and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. For extra brightness, add the juice of 1 lime.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
