First Challenge Recipe: Chicken Cole Slaw

Here we go with the first recipe - fresh and fast, perfect for summer!

It was a very green-colored meal, and surprisingly filling. It's a nice spin on your typical salad if you tend to eat salads a lot and want a change of pace...this is the dish for you!

1 lb Chicken breast (about 2 breasts)
1 Green apple
1 Green cabbage
1 Shallot (or a clove of garlic and a small cippolini onion)
Olive oil
Lime
Salt and pepper

First things first, submerge the chicken breasts in cold water. Put the lid on it and bring the pot of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, go ahead and chop up the apple, cabbage, and the shallot. When the water starts to boil, lower the heat and let the chicken breasts simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes. Remove from water and make sure they're cooked all the way through.

Throw the cabbage, apple, shallot, and shredded chicken in a bowl. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and squirt on a lime wedge, add salt and pepper to taste. Voila! Dinner is served. I'm guessing that there's enough ingredients listed to make 3-4 servings, so I put all the ingredients in separate plastic containers for assembly as needed.
