Grilled Chicken with Asian Slaw

This grilled chicken with Asian slaw recipe is an easy weeknight meal that the whole family will enjoy.  Simple grilled chicken breasts with an Asian-style slaw made with coleslaw mix, orange slice, and chow mein noodles. 

The finished dish is seasoned with a simple peanut butter sauce, however, you can leave that out if you prefer. 

If you are pressed for time on a weeknight, marinate the chicken and grill it ahead of time, and throw it in the fridge. Then, all you have to do is slice, make the sauce, and serve!

I have put in a few suggestions where I might change things up a little the next time I try this recipe. I offered it to my kids as a ‘top your own’ meal (those are very popular in my house).

The coleslaw doesn’t stay well as leftovers so I would only add sauce to what you think you will eat that night. Save remaining sauce and coleslaw separately and mix again the next night if you have more chicken. Or eat it without the chicken! Equally tasty!

Ingredients for Grilled Chicken Slaw Salad

These are the ingredients I used since I was in a hurry.  You can, of course, shred all your own coleslaw ingredients and use fresh oranges.  I was just in a bit of a hurry!

• Bags of coleslaw mix
• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Mandarin oranges slices
• Chow Mein Noodles
• Teriyaki or soy sauce marinade
• Peanut Butter
• Sesame Oil

Asian Slaw with Grilled Chicken Directions

• • Marinate the chicken breasts in 1/2 cup of teriyaki or soy sauce for 20 minutes in the fridge. Turn the chicken periodically to make sure everything is covered.
  • In a small pan, place the remaining sauce, the Peanut butter, and the sesame oil.
  • Heat on low and stir until blended.
  • Place the cole slaw in a large bowl with the orange slices.
  • Grill the chicken for about 7 minutes per side over medium heat or until juices run clear
  • Slice the chicken into strips
  • Pour the sauce over the coleslaw/oranges and toss gently until mixed (if there is too much sauce, just don’t add it all, you don’t want it swimming, just lightly coated!)

Top the coleslaw with the chicken strips and sprinkle with chow mein noodles!
