Caesar Slaw with Crispy Chicken

This Caesar Slaw with Crispy Chicken is fresh, hearty, and surprisingly craveable. Two types of cabbage bring plenty of crunch and color, then creamy Caesar dressing, salty Parmesan, crisp croutons, and golden chicken turn it into a proper meal. It comes together easily, even if you make the crispy chicken from scratch (I’ll show you how below!), but it’s even faster if you’ve already got some chicken tenders stashed in the freezer. This cabbage salad also holds up beautifully for leftovers, and I love that you can keep the chicken on the side for families with different dietary needs!

A Crunchy Cabbage Caesar Salad

Apparently cabbage is having a moment, and I’m fully on board with it. It’s affordable, sturdy, and stays crunchy in a way most greens just can’t, which makes it perfect for a bold, satisfying salad like this one. We barely made it through the photo shoot before everyone started stealing bites straight from the bowl.
