Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless;
  • 4 cups kale, chopped and stemmed;
  • 2 cups red cabbage, shredded;
  • 2 cups shredded carrots;
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced;
  • 1 cup Napa cabbage, thinly sliced;

Ingredients for the dressing/marinade

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos;
  • 2 tbsp. ginger, minced;

  • 1 tbsp. raw honey (optional)
  • 1 tsp. Sriracha; (optional; leave out for AIP)
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar;
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped;
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper;

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing/marinade except for the vinegar.
  2. Place the chicken in a second bowl or other container. Add 3 tbsp. of the marinade, and let marinate 30 to 60 minutes.
  3. In the first bowl, whisk the white wine vinegar into the remaining marinade to create the dressing.
  4. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Place the chicken on the preheated grill discarding any remaining marinade (but don’t throw out the dressing, just the marinade that was in with the chicken).
  6. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until no longer pink in the center. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Thinly slice the chicken breasts.
  8. In a bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients, drizzle with the vinaigrette, and toss gently.
  9. Serve the salad topped with the chicken slices.
