Asian Chicken Slaw

Here's the deal with this Asian Chicken Slaw... It's incredible.

Epic. So good you'll want to lick the bottom of the bowl just to make sure that every last bit of goodness has been consumed and none is left to waste. And you can make it vegetarian style or with chicken.

Are you looking for a unique, flavorful dinner to make at home? With Asian Chicken Slaw, you can easily transform ordinary ingredients into a delicious and nutritious meal! Packed full of crunchy cabbage, chicken breast, colorful vegetables, and fragrant flavors like garlic and ginger, this dish brings together the best of Asian cuisine in an easy-to-prepare slaw. Perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions like holidays – it's sure to be your new favorite family dinner!

This Asian Chicken Slaw is colorful, packed with flavor and it's been making an appearance the past few weeks. I can't be stopped. The crunch from all the veggies, the sauce, the avocado on top, the optional chicken... it's a recipe for success! And it's one that can be prepped ahead and used for lunches for the following few days.

I like for a crunchy slaw style salad with a vinaigrette. It's one of my favorite ways to stuff my face for lunch and dinner without feeling weighed down afterwards. For this Asian Chicken Slaw we're using a duo of cabbage, tons of peppers, carrots and some scallions. Avocado goes on top, but if you're prepping this ahead of time, just add the avocado right before serving.

The sauce is one of my favorites that also lends itself beautifully to chicken, salmon, beef or roasted veggies! And speaking of prepping ahead, this sauce can be made on a weekend and used all week long. If you want more veggie crunchy salads like this - might I suggest my Mango Cucumber Chopped Salad - equally as perfect!

This salad is super colorful and packed with flavor. It's one of those recipes that only gets better with time. Plus you can use a rotisserie chicken as a grocery store short-cut.
