Notes

  • Make sure you let the chicken rest before slicing for the salad so it stays moist.
  • If you do not have chicken breasts, you can swap them for chicken thighs but you'll have to adjust the cooking time.
  • You can buy pre-shredded cabbage to save prep time.
  • To store: Store the salad and dressing separately to keep them from being soggy. Store separately for up to 3 days in the fridge.
