chicken cole slaw

Most of you know that we’ve become fans of e-mealz, which I recently discussed (again) in this blog post. Well this is just one of the recipes I’ve snagged from our low carb plan. I think it makes a lovely side salad or even a main course salad with the rotisserie chicken. Very light & fresh.

{ CHICKEN COLE SLAW }

1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed & shredded

1/2 head cabbage, sliced very thin (the original e-mealz recipe calls for a full head but I prefer less cabbage and more stuff)

2 green onions, sliced

2 carrots, grated

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced (or yellow, as shown)

optional: 8 oz. water chestnuts, drained (not a fan … I left these out)

1/2 c. slivered almonds

1 c. vinaigrette dressing (I used a Brianna’s Blush Wine Vinaigrette)

……….

In a large bowl, combine chicken, cabbage, green onions, carrots, bell peppers, water chestnuts & almonds. Heat vinaigrette in microwave 1 minute. Pour dressing over salad; toss well.

    This looks delish! Thinking about making it tonight w/ Napa cabbage. We also subscribe to e-mealz (in our second year now), but have the regular plan, so haven’t seen this one. Thanks for sharing.
