Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 2 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the slaw: using a sharp knife or a mandoline, finely shred the red cabbage and grate the carrot.
In a large bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the cabbage and carrot in the dressing until well coated. Set aside.
For the dairy-free avocado sauce, blend the avocados, lime juice, fresh cilantro, garlic clove, water, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until smooth.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Serve the spicy chicken alongside the tangy slaw and drizzle generously with the creamy avocado sauce. Enjoy!
