Ingredients:
10oz chicken
4 oz of cabbage & carrot slaw
Small head of baby lettuce
2 tbs hosin sauce
1.5 oz sesame dressing
1 lime
Optional sesame seeds
Recipe:
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken in a single layer; season & cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped cabbage and grated carrot for a slaw, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), and juice from lime. Season with salt and pepper. Microwave until cabbage is slightly softened, 30-60 seconds.
• Reduce heat under pan with chicken to medium low. Stir in hoisin, and 1⁄4 cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened and chicken is coated, 1-2 minutes more.
• Add sesame dressing and half the sesame seeds (save the rest for serving) to bowl with cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss to combine.
• Divide the chicken into each lettuce boat and top with the slaw. Optional to add sesame seeds on top!
Why They're Great for Hormone Balance
Chicken
Lean protein = blood sugar balance, muscle support, and steady energy
Rich in vitamin B6 and zinc, which support progesterone production and reduce PMS symptoms
Lettuce Wraps
Light and low-carb base that helps reduce bloating
Easy to digest and keeps you feeling refreshed
Carrot-Cabbage Slaw
Carrots: Support estrogen detox through fiber and beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A (key for hormone production)
Cabbage: A cruciferous veggie that contains DIM, which helps metabolize excess estrogen
High fiber = supports gut health and natural hormone clearance
