In a separate medium bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture.
Using a pair of tongs or a large spoon, thoroughly toss the salad until the dressing evenly coats all ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the chicken coleslaw to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a light main course or a side dish.
