Chicken Ingredients

  • 24 oz. chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 Tbsp chicken broth or water
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 ½ tsp lemon zest
  • 1 ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Coleslaw Ingredients

  • 2 cups cabbage
  • 1 apple, peeled and sliced into matchsticks
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Dash of mustard powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • One at a time, place the chicken breasts in a 1-gallon zip-lock bag. Using a meat mallet, pound to an even 1⁄2-inch thickness.
  • Mix the garlic cloves, chicken broth or water, thyme, lemon zest, salt, oregano, and black pepper together in a 1-gallon zip-lock bag.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the bag and massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated. Seal the bag and place in a bowl in the refrigerator. Let the chicken marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat and oil the grates. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook, covered, for 2-3 mins. per side.
  • Slice cabbage in very thin strips. Toss with lemon juice, apple slices, and spices. Allow to marinate for 30 mins. or overnight.
