Prep/Cook Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 heads baby bok choy, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • ½ chopped fresh pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 4 teaspoons packed brown sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons jerk seasoning
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1¼ pounds)

Directions

  1. For pineapple slaw, in a very large bowl combine bok choy, cabbage and pineapple. In a small bowl, combine cider vinegar and 2 teaspoons brown sugar. Drizzle over bok choy mixture; toss to coat. Set aside.
  2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons brown sugar, flour and jerk seasoning. Add chicken; shake well to coat. Grease a grill pan or a heavy 12-inch skillet.

Slice chicken and serve with pineapple slaw.
