2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided

½ small head of cabbage, very thinly sliced (about 4 cups)

½ small red onion, very thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1
Pound chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to ¼" thick; season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in large skillet over high.

Toss cabbage, onion, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl; season with salt. Drizzle in vinegar and remaining 3 Tbsp. oil and toss again.
Step 3
Top cutlets with slaw.
