Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Red cabbage
• 1 large Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 2 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 clove Garlic clove
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 5

Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

While the chicken is roasting, prepare the slaw: using a sharp knife or a mandoline, finely shred the red cabbage and grate the carrot.

Step 7

In a large bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the cabbage and carrot in the dressing until well coated. Set aside.

Step 8

For the dairy-free avocado sauce, blend the avocados, lime juice, fresh cilantro, garlic clove, water, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until smooth.

Step 9

Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 10

Serve the spicy chicken alongside the tangy slaw and drizzle generously with the creamy avocado sauce. Enjoy!
