Asian Chicken and Cabbage

Another recipe from Cooking Light.... This one is very quick and easy. Instead of the bagged cabbage, I used fresh. I got to try out my slicer attachment for my food processor. It makes chopping cabbage MUCH easier. I really liked the chicken and slaw. Aubrey said the slaw was a little strong (maybe too much sesame oil?), but I thought it was perfectly Asian tasting. I split this recipe in half to feed the 2 of us.



Ingredients:
2 TBSP hoisin sauce
1 tsp bottled minced garlic
1 tsp bottled ground fresh ginger (such as Spice World)
4 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Cooking spray
1 tsp canola oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 cups packaged coleslaw
1 tsp dark sesame oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:
Preheat broiler.
Combine hoisin sauce, minced garlic, and fresh ginger; spread hoisin mixture evenly over both sides of chicken. Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 6 minutes on each side or until done.
While chicken cooks, heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; saute 2 minutes. Add coleslaw; saute 1 minute or until coleslaw begins to wilt.
Place coleslaw mixture in a medium bowl. Add sesame oil, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat. Serve coleslaw mixture with chicken.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and 1/2 cup coleslaw mixture)
