  • To make the chicken extra flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • When cooking the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat so that it doesn't dry out. You can cook the chicken in a skillet, on a grill, or in the oven.
  • For the coleslaw, use a variety of cabbage, such as green cabbage, red cabbage, and savoy cabbage. This will give the coleslaw a more interesting flavor and texture.
  • To make the coleslaw dressing, use a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, and mustard. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as chopped onion, celery, or carrots.
  • Be sure to chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more crisp.

Conclusion:

Zippy Chicken Coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. The chicken is tender and flavorful, while the coleslaw is crisp and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
