Grilled Chicken with Asian Slaw

Another good idea from SO. I think it came about because we had half a cabbage left in the fridge. The first half of it went to "Lazy Man's Cabbage Rolls" last week, which should be another post. In any case, this was easy to throw together and very delicious. Has that Asian flair from the 5 spice on the chicken, and the dressing is slightly spicy with fresh cilantro and ginger and a few of the "usual" flavours like rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and a bit of hot sauce. Round it out with some Edamame, peanuts, and some sprouts.

Everything about this has a fresh taste - the grated carrot, the fresh cilantro, the sprouts. Kind of an Asian take on the Chicken Caesar in a way. I've never been a big lettuce fan, but this I could eat every week.

Next time: I would crank up the spice a bit. The sprouts give it some crunch, but maybe a sprinkle of those dried chow mein noodles would help.
