Most of us think side dish when think about slaws. But I’m here to tell you that a slaw can be transformed into a wonderful main dish just by adding a few ingredients. This is a very flexible Lemon Garlic Chicken Slaw Recipe with several optional ingredients that you can add if you have them on hand and leave out if you don’t. It’s a great take-along lunch, quick dinner, or snack.

Lemon Garlic Chicken Slaw Ingredients

  • 1 bag cole slaw mix
  • 4 Lemon Garlic Chicken Breasts, cut in bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 green bell pepper, julienned (optional)
  • 4 radishes, julienned (optional)
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons granular Swerve
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper or lemon pepper

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 2 shakes Tabasco sauce (or to taste – see note)
  • 3 tablespoons minced onion

Dressing Instructions

Garlic and Lemon Chicken Slaw Instructions

  1. Mix the bag of cole slaw mix, bite-sized chunks of Garlic And Lemon Chicken Breasts, julienned bell pepper and radishes, and slivered almonds in a large bowl.
  2. Toss with the granular Swerve, salt and pepper.
  3. Cover and refrigerate 10 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid.
  4. Pour the dressing over the cabbage/chicken mixture and toss the ingredients well to combine them thoroughly. Make certain that there are no “dry” pockets of the cabbage mixture which have not been coated with dressing.
  5. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour. This shrinks considerably while standing. Drain excess liquid before serving.
  6. Plate and serve.

Notes

You can play around with the seasoning in the dressing, adjusting them to your own personal taste. Ground Cayenne pepper may be substituted for the Tabasco sauce, if you wish.

If you want to add some real zing to the salad, add some horseradish.

You don’t have to add all of the dressing if you prefer a drier cole slaw, as I do.
