Sticky Broiled Chicken With Cabbage Slaw

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoon(s) sugar
• 3 tablespoon(s) cider vinegar
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 1/2 small green cabbage (about 1 lb), cored and shredded (4 cups)
• 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 4 scallions, cut into 2-in. pieces
• 1/4 cup(s) ketchup
• 1 tablespoon(s) molasses
• 1 teaspoon(s) Dijon mustard
• 4 (6-ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, 2 Tbsp vinegar, and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Add the cabbage, red pepper and scallions and toss to combine. Let sit, tossing occasionally, for at least 10 minutes.
Heat broiler. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, molasses, mustard, remaining Tbsp vinegar, and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper.
Pound the thickest part of the chicken so it is 1/2 in. thick. Place on a foil-lined broiler-proof baking sheet and broil until cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes, basting with the ketchup mixture during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Serve with the slaw.
