Hoisin-Glazed Chicken
with Sesame Slaw Salad
- Sesame
- Soy
- Wheat
One of our favorite ways to add tons of flavor to any protein in mere minutes? Whipping up a delectable glaze. Here, we blend savory-sweet hoisin sauce with sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, and scallions, then spoon the mixture over pork chops just before serving. It’s paired with a crunchy, savory sesame slaw-style salad, and garnished with a zippy shower of crisp scallion greens. Now THAT’S what we call a winning dinner idea!

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; roughly chop leaves.
• In a large bowl, combine cabbage and carrot mix, half the scallion greens, half the dressing (you’ll use the rest later), and ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings); toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat pork dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly.
Swap in chicken or organic chicken for pork; cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and scallion whites; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Stir in ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings), hoisin, vinegar, and half the sesame oil (all for 4). Bring to a simmer; cook until sauce has slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes. Season lightly with pepper.
• Add lettuce and remaining dressing to bowl with cabbage and carrot mixture; toss to combine.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide pork and salad between plates. Spoon pan sauce over top; garnish with remaining scallion greens and serve.
Slice chicken or organic chicken crosswise.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was really tasty. Swapped out pork for chicken. Easy to make. Both my husband's and I's plates were clean. I even went back to the salad to finish it.
Easiest meal I've ever made. Excellent flavors. My husband and I felt like we were eating at a great restaurant!
Best salad you've ever sent! LOVED the fresh heart of romaine lettuce. Keep doing that! I had to add my own carrot to the red cabbage, yours was a joke. Overall a good meal.
As usual the chicken cutlets are the best. The chicken and salad combination are a good together.
This is a great recipe and is really close to being perfect. The carrots and raw cabbage made the salad really difficult to chew and detracted from the flavors. Maybe there could be guidance on how to make it more tender or it could be replaced? Thank you!
Was not a fan of the sauce for meat. Odd flavor. Would have liked to see more sesame dressing for salad = 2oz instead of 1.5oz
It was a good meal, but not enough sauce for the salad part.
Salad could use edamame or almonds or something. Also, should have rice as a side dish with this.
Would like other vegetables than the same red cabbage and carrot slaw that seems to come with everything.
Not much flavor to sauce. Needs more hoisin. Dressing could use more flavor also.
