Recipe
Serves 2
8.1 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. coconut aminos
1 tsp. honey
½ tsp. red pepper flakes
6 oz. red cabbage, shredded
2 carrots, grated
2 green onions, sliced
2 tbsp. cilantro, chopped
1.4 oz. roasted almonds, chopped
How to Prepare
Add the chicken to a pot and cover with 1” of water. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a medium-low. Partially cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Place the cooked chicken into a bowl and shred it with two forks. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, place the olive oil, lime juice, coconut aminos, honey and red pepper flakes in a large bowl, and whisk until well combined.
Now add the cabbage, carrots, green onions, cilantro and almonds to the bowls and toss gently to ensure all the ingredients are well coated in the dressing. Stir in the chicken and stir again.
Divide the salad equally between 2 bowls or plates and serve.
