Howlin' Hot Chicken Papaya Coleslaw Recipe

From The Great Hot Sauce Book by Jennifer Trainer Thompson (Ten Speed Press), for About.com

Habanero hot sauce fires up coleslaw made with cabbage, green onions, cilantro, chicken, papaya, and citrus juice. If you do not like spicy foods, you may omit the hot sauce or cut it down to suit your tastes.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 head each red and green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons habanero hot sauce
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and julienned
  • 1 ripe papaya, peeled and sliced

Preparation:

In a large bowl, combine cabbage, cilantro, and green onions, and toss. Add hot sauce, orange, and lime juices and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly. Add chicken and toss.

Arrange on a serving platter or plates and lay slices of papaya over the top.

Serving suggestion: Fill a submarine roll with the slaw for and unusual sandwich.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
