Pre-made salad mixes and bagged greens are wonderful time savers when it comes to making quick, middle of the week meals. Season packaged coleslaw with sesame oil pairs with broiled chicken for tonight's dinner. The chicken is glazed with a mixture of hoisin, garlic, and ginger, making for a moist and flavorful meal. The coleslaw adds a nice, cooling crunch to the sweetness of the chicken. To take a look at the recipe, read more.

Skip the cabbage and have some salad
1This sounds really good. I like the cabbage idea.
2I think I will make this tonight, although I have some plain cabbage that I need to use up instead of the coleslaw mix! I hope it will turn out okay, I'm not really familiar with what exactly is IN coleslaw mix.
3This sounds so good! Thanks Yum
4Yummy Yummy!!!
5I just had Coleslaw for lunch. Cabbage is so overlooked in the US
6Yummy! The chicken sounds good and I love coleslaw.
7i'm always skeptical of the "asian" recipes in magazines and on tv. somehow, they don't seem "asian" at all. the recipes almost always call for ginger, soy, sesame oil, etc. but there is so much more to asian cooking than that. i will give this recipe a try though.
8looks good to eat and make at home for your valentine.
