Chicken Salad Slaw

Posted on June 20, 2020June 20, 2020 by Alexandria

A mashup of chicken salad and coleslaw, this very easy recipe is great on it’s own, served on a sandwich, or as a side dish at your next barbecue.

It’s cost-friendly and takes just minutes to prepare (or can be prepared a day ahead of time). I had chicken breasts still attached to the bones, so I sliced off the breast meat to cook for another time and then drizzled the remaining carcass with olive oil and roasted in the oven.

Once golden brown, I pulled all the extra good meat off the carcass and put it into the slaw and then used the bones to make bone broth.

This was an awesome way to use up the remaining meat and some leftover herbs and onions. Make it mayo-free (not that I have anything against mayo) by substituting it for sour cream (make your own, here) or plain greek yogurt).

Chicken Salad Slaw

A heartier version of your average coleslaw.
Course Side Dish
Cuisine American

Ingredients

  • 1/2-1 head Cabbage Thinly and roughly chopped
  • Chicken Chicken breast, thighs, or the remaining bits pulled from a chicken carcass
  • 1/2-1 Red onion Halved and thinly sliced
  • White wine or apple cider vinegar
  • Mayonnaise, sour cream, or greek yogurt
  • Lemon A big squeeze; lime could also work, or just omit if you have neither
  • Salt, Pepper
  • Paprika
  • Celery Salt
  • Red chili flakes Optional, for spice
  • Fresh herbs Optional; roughly chopped
  • Garlic Optional; thinly sliced
  • Garlic & onion powder

Instructions

  • Roughly chop or pull apart the chicken and place in a bowl.
  • Chop the cabbage, slice the onion and add to the bowl.
  • Mix a couple big spoonfuls of the mayonnaise, sour cream, or greek yogurt to roughly 1/2 a cup or more (depending on how much cabbage there is) of the vinegar and add to the bowl. It should have the consistency of a thicker salad dressing that still falls in ribbons off your spoon.
  • Add a few pinches of the spices and herbs until it's a taste you like. (I prefer mine spicier, so I add more chili flakes). Add a squeeze of your lemon.
  • Stir and taste - add more if needed. Refrigerate or serve room temperature.

Notes

Serve on its own, on a sandwich, or as a side dish.

The most engaging ways to learn about the world around us is to experience through food and quality exploration.

Food brings loved ones together and nurtures tradition and nothing harnesses more joy than pouring my love into a home-cooked meal.

Exploration keeps me uncomfortable, constantly learning and yearning.

  • Lunch at the Břevnov Monastery - ostrich steak with bramboračky, halušky with smoked pork and cabbage, coleslaw, skewers of pork and bacon, fries and of course, their wonderful beer and lemonades. 

After so much food, I'm still ready to eat again. The monastery menu is filled with hearty, gamey meats and sides. We love a good Czech meal, it's always so satisfying and the beer keeps you going.

  • 📍 Farma Pálava - Mušlov, Czech Republic

Here, you drink local wine and house made cheeses (I wouldn't be surprised if their cured meats were, too).

We drank Veltlínské Zelené (Grüner Veltliner), Ryzlink Rýnský (Reisling), and Pálava. Our meals featured cheese curds, cow cheeses, prosciutto and other cured meats, fresh bread, and the accompaniments. 

Accessible by bike trail (or car) we cycled here from Mikulov, then through Sedlec to Hlohovec, before returning.

  • Picked a little lettuce for lunch today and good herbs for whatever is cooking for dinner. City gardens are possible with a bit of compromise on space and many railing boxes, or just finding the right light indoors and shifting things around as we go. It's even brought bumblebees to our high up space and the dog loves sniffing the smells.

  • Briefly marinated scallops - salt pepper, hot paprika - pan seared. A pan sauce of a little leftover coconut milk, broth, garlic, and lemon. Really good, probably overpriced bucatini from an Italian shop in Prague 7 . Roasted zucchini in the oven, shiitake mushrooms quickly fried in some ghee. All seasoned to taste. Fresh herbs on top.

The city is getting pretty fucking hot so it's almost time to switch to "cold dinners" as it goes in German or sweating profusely over the grill - because I bought one and should use it - but this one was worth it as an accordion plays, the French lady sings, and Pavarotti blasts in the background. This city is magical.

Scallops ordered from @boxxicz and if you live in Prague, place an order. It always smells fresh, we are always happy. Not an ad just really enthusiastic about getting real seafood in this part of Europe.

  • The Maldives is the pinnacle of paradise, a destination for those seeking the heights of beauty. The country is also a geographical marvel, home to a rich culture and cuisine heavily based from the island's bounty of tuna and coconut.

It's also a bit of a tragedy, as the narrative pushed by influencers, marketing and media is only one of happy people sitting on pristine beaches and swimming in crystal waters. When only one story is told about what it's like to stay at one of the hundreds of island resorts, it's hard to believe it could be anything less than filled with happy guests and warm, fuzzy feelings.

If you're just here for the food, under "cuisine" I talk about some wonderful meals we got to taste with links that head to a Maldivian database of recipes. If you're here for the travel, too, and want to hear about another side of the story, you're also in the right spot
