Warm and cool and full of promise, just like spring weather. Green mint lifts the side slaw to new refreshing heights, with extra crispness from strips of kohlrabi mingling with shredded cabbage.

Slim stems of yu choy soften just enough with a quick turn in the oven to complete a perfect paleo supper.

Preparation
Cook the chicken
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Roast the yu choy
Meanwhile, remove the bottom ½ inch of the yu choy stems. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 8 to 10 min., until tender.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, peel and cut the kohlrabi into matchsticks. Pick the mint leaves off the stems; tear the leaves.
Make the slaw
In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the kohlrabi, cabbage and mint; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken, yu choy and slaw between your plates. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
