Here's a unique twist on a traditional cabbage slaw. It takes a little more effort, but you're going to absolutely love the payoff. The chicken is flavored with an irresistible combination of soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, honey, canola oil, and sesame oil. A similar combination also serves as the dressing for the radishes, carrots, and cucumbers. After grilling the chicken, serve it alongside the slaw, or feel free to toss them both together. You can also continue the Asian theme of this meal by serving the chicken and slaw with rice noodles tossed with thinly sliced scallions for a more substantial dinner.
