But it’s not just about the chicken; the honey mustard slaw adds a refreshing twist that enhances the sandwich’s flavor and nutritional value. Loaded with crunchy vegetables like cabbage and carrots, the slaw provides a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, promoting gut health and boosting your immune system.

Moreover, the inclusion of honey and mustard not only adds a delicious sweet and tangy flavor but also offers potential health benefits. Honey is known for its antimicrobial properties and can soothe a sore throat or cough, while mustard contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that support heart health and reduce inflammation in the body.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Serves 4

Ingredients:

For the Crispy Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 flax eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking oil spray

For the Honey Mustard Slaw:

• 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons dairy-free mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

For Assembling:

• 4 gluten-free burger buns
• Sliced tomatoes
• Lettuce leaves
• Sliced red onions

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, prepare the flax eggs by whisking together the ground flaxseed meal and water. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. Dip each chicken breast into the flax eggs, then coat them evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with cooking oil spray.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy. Combine the shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix in a mixing bowl with dairy-free mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated. Adjust seasoning to taste. Toast the gluten-free burger buns if desired. Spread a generous amount of honey mustard slaw on the bottom half of each bun. Place a crispy chicken breast on top of the slaw. Top with sliced tomatoes, red onions, and lettuce leaves. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
