Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked through. Let the chicken cool before shredding or slicing it into thin strips.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions.
Step 4
In a small dry pan, lightly toast the slivered almonds over low heat until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Step 5
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame seeds in a small bowl.
Step 6
Add the shredded chicken to the vegetable mixture and toss to combine. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Step 7
Top the salad with toasted almonds and crispy chow mein noodles for added crunch.
