Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup optional
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp ginger & garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili oil
  • A few splashes of water to thin it out optional
  • 1 small package of coleslaw mix
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced cashews or peanuts

Instructions

  • Shred chicken (if using rotisserie chicken or boil 2 chicken breasts for 25 mins).
  • In a large bowls combine the dressing ingredients: yogurt, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, peanut butter, maple syrup (if using), ginger and garlic powder, chili oil
  • Add chicken & coleslaw (I like to chop any big chunks of cabbage ensuring a similar consistency throughout)
  • Add red onion, toss well and sprinkle with nuts
  • Eat immediately with pita chips, as a salad or in a wrap
  • Store leftovers in containers for up to 3 days

Notes

  • If you're making this for meal prep lunches leave the nuts out then add before eating so they don't get soggy.
  • If you want to make this lower calorie/reduce the fat swap the peanut butter for peanut butter powder.
