Grilled Chicken with Pineapple-Cabbage Slaw
Lime-grilled chicken breast served over a crunchy pineapple and cabbage slaw, finished with fresh cilantro leaves.
Grilling the chicken with just lime, garlic, and a little chili keeps this dinner uncomplicated, and the slaw of shredded cabbage and fresh pineapple brings enough sweetness and crunch that it doesn't need a heavy dressing. A scatter of cilantro finishes it off.
The chicken portion here stays sensible and the slaw skips added salt entirely, using lime juice and fresh pineapple for brightness instead, so this plate is naturally lower in sodium. It's a fast, tropical-leaning dinner that works any night of the week.
