Ingredients
Coleslaw
- 1 bag coleslaw mix 4 cups total, (or 2 cups green cabbage 1/2 head, shredded, 2 cups red cabbage 1/2 head, shredded, 1 carrot shredded)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup kefir or unsweetened Greek yogurt, or your favorite dairy-free alternative
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or to taste
- 3 tablespoons chives minced, optional, or use green onions
- 1-2 drops stevia glycerite or 1/2-1 teaspoon monk fruit, powdered
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Chicken
- 3 green onions
- 3 garlic cloves peeled
- 1 habanero pepper seeded
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 teaspoon allspice ground
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated

- 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos

- 2 tablespoons lime juice juice of 1 lime

Instructions
- Toss the coleslaw mix with 1 teaspoon of salt in a fine mesh strainer set in the sink. Let stand until the cabbage wilts, about 1 hour. Pat cabbage dry with paper towels. Meanwhile, mix all dressing ingredients together and taste. Adjust seasoning as desired and then toss with cabbage mix once dried.
- While coleslaw is being salted, marinate the chicken. Combine all chicken ingredients except for the thighs in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Pour over chicken thighs and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Add the chicken to a large non-stick pan, reserving any marinade.Cook on high heat until dark brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until browned, another 5 minutes. Add the reserved marinade and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes more. Remove the chicken to plates and serve with the coleslaw.
