Directions
- Place your chicken marinade into a non-metallic bowl and mix. Add the whole chicken breast (or you can slice if easier). Mix so the chicken has been coated, place in the fridge, at least 30 minutes.
- For the dressing, combine the Finger Lime extract, soy, honey, mirin or rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add the cabbage, carrot, celery, green and white onion and toss to combine. Transfer the slaw to a serving dish.
- Add dressing to slaw
- Heat your pan then cook your chicken on medium heat. Once cooked take off and place on a plate and cover with foil, resting for 5 minutes.
- Slice the chicken (if not sliced already) and serve over slaw.
- Serve with quinoa if desired and enjoy!
To shred carrot use a julienne peeler. This looks like a conventional vegetable peeler, but has little ‘teeth’ that help create strips of vegetables.
