Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Set aside to rest.

While the chicken rests, finely shred the green and red cabbages, grate the carrot, and julienne the green apple.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, caraway seeds, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Gradually drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil while whisking to form a dressing.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and julienned apple. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss until evenly coated.

Step 6

Slice the rested chicken into thin strips.

Step 7

Serve the warm chicken over the dressed cabbage slaw, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
