Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss chicken in teriyaki sauce and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Cut the meat into slices.
Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, whisk together yogurt, honey, peanut butter, and sesame oil. Reserve.
In 4 large deep plates, place the cabbage coleslaw mix. Add edamame, cucumber, red pepper, mango, green onions, sesame seeds, chow mein noodles and chicken slices. Serve with the yogurt dressing.
Tips
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, pulse ½ cup (125 mL) of mango in a food processor until smooth and mix into the yogurt dressing.
