Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest before slicing it into strips.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers. Drizzle with some of the honey mustard dressing and toss to coat.
Serving
- Divide the slaw among meal prep containers. Top each with sliced grilled chicken. Drizzle additional dressing over the top or keep it separate for serving.
Storage
- Seal the meal prep containers and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the dressing separate if possible to maintain the slaw's crunch.
