Ingredients

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

Directions

For pineapple slaw, in a very large bowl combine bok choy, cabbage and pineapple. In a small bowl combine cider vinegar and 2 teaspoons of the brown sugar. Drizzle over bok choy mixture; toss to coat. Set aside.
In a large resealable plastic bag combine the remaining 2 teaspoons brown sugar, the flour and jerk seasoning. Add chicken; shake well to coat. Grease a grill pan or a heavy 12-inch skillet. Add chicken; cook over medium heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once halfway through cooking time. Transfer chicken to a cutting board.
Slice chicken and serve with pineapple slaw.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
