# Method:

01 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, garlic, salt, and lime juice in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
02 - Combine green and purple cabbage, carrot, red onion, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime zest, lime juice, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well. Refrigerate until serving.
03 - Combine Greek yogurt, mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until fully incorporated. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
04 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or shred as desired.
05 - Arrange a generous portion of lime coleslaw on each plate. Top with sliced curried chicken. Drizzle with mint yogurt sauce and garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately while chicken is still warm.

# Chef's Tips:

01 -
  • The marinated chicken stays incredibly juicy while developing this beautiful golden crust
  • You get crunch, creaminess, heat, and bright citrus all in one bowl
02 -
  • Do not skip the resting time after cooking the chicken or those juices will run all over your plate
  • The coleslaw actually gets better after sitting for 30 minutes, so make it first
03 -
  • Pat the chicken dry before marinating to help it develop a better sear
  • Grill the chicken outdoors if weather permits for that extra smoky dimension
