This Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad takes less than 30 minutes to make and is perfect for meal prepping! It has the perfect combo of juicy tender chicken mixed with crunchy cabbage and a homemade dressing that ties it all together!

Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad

I have been living on salads all summer long. When it’s super hot out I just don’t always feel like eating a big heavy meal. 

Now don’t get me wrong, this salad is definitely filling and totally satisfying, but it will leave you feeling light after eating. 

In other words, you won’t feel like lump and have to lay down on the couch after noshing on this. 😛

Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad

For the salad dressing I whipped together some Rice Vinegar, Sesame Oil, Tamari, Lime Juice, Garlic, Ginger, and Black Pepper.

Then I sprinkled some Sea Salt and Pepper over the Chicken. Heated up some Coconut Oil in a large skillet and cooked Chicken about 8-10 minutes. Let the Chicken cool then chop or shred it up.

Now cooking time will depend on the size of your Chicken Breasts. I buy the Organic Chicken which runs on the smaller side so it takes less time to cook.

You could also save time by buying a Rotisserie Chicken and cutting it up. Totally up to you!

Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad in bowls

In a large bowl add in the Cabbage, Carrots, Red Onion, and Chicken. Pour Dressing over and mix well so everything is coated.

Top with Cashews if desired and proceed to chow down on total deliciousness!

I found this was also a great meal prep if you wanted to make this ahead and keep it in the fridge. The flavor intensifies and the Cabbage still stays nice and crunchy! Just don’t add the Cashews until you’re ready to eat because the Cashews will get soggy.
