Ingredients
Crispy Chicken
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
Crunchy Slaw
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
Orange Buffalo Drizzle
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dip each breast in the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Toss well to coat evenly, then let sit for at least 10 minutes to develop flavors.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, orange juice, and honey until smooth. Adjust the sweetness to taste.
- To assemble, place a generous serving of slaw in each bowl. Slice the cooked chicken and arrange on top of the slaw. Drizzle with the orange buffalo sauce.
- Garnish with optional add-ons like sliced avocado or blue cheese crumbles. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in separate airtight containers. Keep the chicken and slaw apart to maintain their respective textures.
- Reheat the chicken in an oven set to 350°F for about 10 minutes to regain crispiness. Enjoy the slaw cold.
