Ingredients
For the chicken- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 4 (5-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Herb Yogurt Dressing- 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
- ½ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 scallion, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the slaw- 4 cups shredded red or green cabbage (about 1 small head)
- 4 medium carrots, trimmed, peeled, and shredded
- 4 servings (1/2 cup) Herb-Yogurt Dressing (recipe below)
Instructions
- To make the chicken, preheat the oven to 375-degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, mustard powder, and salt. Using clean hands, pat the dry rub over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and place in the oven for about 15 minutes until the chicken reaches a minimum internal cooking temperature of 165-degrees Fahrenheit. Set the chicken aside to cool. Once cooled, slice each chicken breast into thin strips.
- To make the Herb-Yogurt Dressing, in a blender, process the yogurt, basil, parsley, scallion, oil, lemon juice, honey, and salt together until smooth.
- Transfer the dressing to a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. Yields 1¼ cups.
- To make the slaw, mix together the shredded cabbage and carrots in a medium bowl. Add ½ cup of the Herb-Yogurt Dressing and toss to combine.
- Into each of 4 containers, place 2 cups of slaw and top with 1 sliced chicken breast.
- To store, place airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, place the chicken only in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. To defrost, refrigerate overnight. The chicken can be eaten cold with the slaw. Alternatively, reheat individual servings uncovered in the microwave on high for about 45 seconds.
