Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Green cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 0.5 piece Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks Scallions, sliced

- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the glaze.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season them lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the hoisin glaze over the chicken. Continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the glaze has thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
To prepare the cabbage slaw, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, scallions, and chopped cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the slaw with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve the hoisin glazed chicken alongside the cabbage slaw and lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy!
