Instructions

2 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
3 Grill the chicken breasts on each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4 Brush with a hickory-smoked BBQ sauce.

Creamy Coleslaw

1 Combine cabbages and red onion in a large bowl. Set aside.
2 To make dressing, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, celery seed, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add hot sauce to taste. Whisk to combine.
