Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Toast the sesame and poppy seeds
In a dry large frying pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds and poppy seeds, stirring often, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in as many chile flakes as you like, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Wipe out the pan.
2
Prep and cook the cabbage
- Cut the cabbage into 2 [4] wedges, keeping the core intact.
In the same pan used for the seeds, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the cabbage, cut sides down, and cook, undisturbed, until the edges start to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn to the other cut side and cook, undisturbed, until the edges are browned and the center is crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly and season all over with salt and pepper. While the cabbage is cooking, start preparing the chicken.

Prep and cook the chicken
- In a small bowl, stir together the balsamic vinegar and honey.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and almost cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 5 minutes per side for breasts.
Spoon the honey-balsamic glaze on the chicken, turning to coat all over, and continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. While the chicken is cooking, finish the salad.

Assemble the warm cabbage–apple salad
- Cut away the core from the cabbage; coarsely chop the cabbage.
- Core and thinly slice the apple.
In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, apple, and tzatziki dressing; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the warm cabbage–apple salad and chicken to individual plates and spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over the chicken. Sprinkle the salad with as much chile-seed mixture as you like and serve.
