Greek Yogurt Coleslaw

Makes: 6 Servings

Tips: Pull the chicken when it is warm or it will be hard to pull. Use a stand or hand mixer to shred the chicken and save time. Just add the chicken to the mixer bowl then use the paddle attachment to shred. Ensure the coleslaw is crunchy by keeping the dressing separate from the cabbage and carrots until you are ready to enjoy it.
