Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 1 Tbsp Olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Tabasco hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Stone ground mustard

Instructions
- Combine the ¼ cup olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce and cajun seasoning in a medium bowl to create the marinade and slaw dressing.
- Pour half of the marinade (app ¼ cup) into a large plastic bag with the chicken.
- Toss to coat and place in the refrigerator to marinate for up to 8 hours, I would recommend at least 30 minutes.
- Combine the remainder of the marinade with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp stone ground mustard to create the slaw dressing and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the celery, carrots and bell pepper, pour the slaw dressing into the bowl and toss to combine. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a grill over medium heat for 10-12 minutes per side.
- Once the chicken is grilled, slice and serve with the cajun slaw
