03 - Place seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until cooked through with internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
04 - Slice the rested chicken thinly and toss with sugar-free BBQ sauce until well coated.
05 - While chicken bakes, combine green cabbage, red cabbage, carrot, and green onions in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey if using, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
