Brussels Sprouts Slaw with Chicken

Ingredients

1 lb Chicken Breast (cut into cubes)

1/2 tsp Oregano (dried)

1/4 tsp Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp Sea Salt (divided)

3 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)

6 cups Brussels Sprouts (shredded)

4 cups Purple Cabbage (sliced thin)

3 tbsps Lemon Juice

2 tsps Coconut Aminos

Directions

1. Add the cubed chicken to a small bowl with the oregano, garlic powder and half the salt. Toss to combine.

2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1/3 of the oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. Add the brussels sprouts and cabbage to a bowl. Add the lemon juice, coconut aminos, remaining oil and remaining salt. Mix well with your hands to combine. **If digestion is an issue, sometimes cabbage is a bit too much for the stomach, I suggest letting the cabbage & brussels sprouts sit in the fridge overnight in the juices to soften. Another idea: roast the brussels sprouts and then add them to the salad when serving.

4. Divide the slaw evenly between plates. Top with chicken and enjoy!
