Presenting a no-fuss, vibrant coleslaw enlivened with pan-seared sesame-ginger chicken, drizzled in a homemade dressing. The slivered almonds add a delightful crunch complementing the tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and zesty dressing in this meal-ready salad.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 8 minutes each side until thoroughly cooked. Once cool, shred the chicken using two forks.
