SHEET PAN LOW CARB CRACK SLAW
This Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Crack Slaw is effortless. So simple and can be made with fresh chicken breast, thighs or leftover cooked roasted chicken.
It’s cooks in under 30 minutes and uses just one pan. It's also rich in flavor without any added sugar or sweeteners.
If you've made Egg Roll In a Bowl, this recipe is similar, but in my opinion much easier!
Fresh Chicken or Rotisserie Chicken
If you have fresh chicken breast on hand, this recipe needs a bit more time to cook it, about 10 minutes extra.
If using already cooked chicken like purchasing a rotisserie chicken from the market, you can skip the step of partially cooking the chicken breast and then the rest of the recipes takes just about 15 minutes.

What Other Proteins Can I Use?
If you want some other protein besides chicken breast, no problem at all. You can use chicken thighs, ground beef, ground pork, or even ground turkey or turkey meat.
Are Coconut Aminos Low Carb or Keto?
Coconut aminos are a fantastic substitute for soy sauce as it is gluten free and does not contain any soy or MSG, but has a similar flavor profile.
Though coconut aminos has some carbs, only a small amount is needed in most recipes making it ideal for any diet lifestyle like low carb, keto, paleo and vegan.
Coconut aminos have a nice salty taste like soy sauce but also has a subtle sweetness as well, giving you a nice combination in many Asian recipes.
How to Reheat Leftover Crack Slaw
To reheat leftover chicken crack slaw, pour a tablespoon or two of avocado oil or coconut oil into a small skillet over medium heat.
Place your serving of crack slaw into the hot skillet and saute about 5 minutes to heat through.
Toss with some extra virgin olive oil and coconut aminos to finish and enjoy!
