Asian broccoli slaw with chicken

Asian broccoli slaw with chickenIf you haven't tried broccoli slaw, it's time. This simple slaw is made of shredded broccoli stalks, carrots and red cabbage shreds, all of which are loaded with phytochemicals that fight disease as well as vitamin C, beta-carotene and folate. I've made sauteed slaw on it's own before, but this time combined with chicken and brown rice to make a complete meal. This recipe was demoed at Ohio National Financial this week and was a big hit. A big thanks to Trader Joes for sponsoring the food!Ingredients:1 lb chicken breast2 Tbsp. canola oil1 (12 oz) bag Trader Joes organic broccoli slaw1 Tbsp. minced garlic1 Tbsp. minced ginger1 ½ Tbsp.
