Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Green apple
- 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Set aside to rest.
While the chicken rests, finely shred the green and red cabbages, grate the carrot, and julienne the green apple.
In a small bowl, whisk together white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, caraway seeds, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Gradually drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil while whisking to form a dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and julienned apple. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Slice the rested chicken into thin strips.
Serve the warm chicken over the dressed cabbage slaw, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
