Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, chopped into 1-in pieces
1/2 c. corn starch
1 Egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp. water
1/2 c. panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt, to taste
ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

Set up a dredging station: In one bowl, add cornstarch. In another bowl, whisk together egg and water. And in a third bowl, add panko breadcrumbs and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Make a slaw: In a small bowl, mix about 2 tablespoons of the sauce with the cabbage to make a slaw.
