Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 cups Coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced thinly
- 0.5 cups Slivered almonds, toasted
- 1 packet Uncooked ramen noodles, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, vegetable oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set the dressing aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, shredded chicken breast, sliced green onions, and toasted slivered almonds.
Step 3
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the crumbled ramen noodles until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Allow them to cool before adding to the coleslaw mix.
Step 4
Pour the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Step 5
Add the toasted ramen noodles just before serving to maintain their crunchiness, and toss lightly to combine.
Step 6
Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl or platter and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
