I must admit, the combination of chicken and apple slaw is a fascinating twist on traditional BBQ fare. The fact that it's relatively easy to prepare and doesn't contain any soy products is a definite plus. The grill work is nicely instructions-driven, and the dressing appears to be a decent balance of tangy and sweet. My only gripe is that it's not particularly... adventurous. Then again, sometimes you just want something that's a comfortingly safe bet, and this recipe seems to fit the bill. Overall, I'd say it's a solid addition to any barbecue enthusiast's arsenal - especially those with a penchant for sweet and savory flavors. Worth noting: if you're feeling extra fancy, you can always add some crispy onions or jalapeños to give it a bit more kick.

I must admit that this Chicken and Apple Slaw recipe has caught my attention, despite being somewhat unorthodox in comparison to traditional Polish cuisine. The inclusion of chicken and apples in a slaw is a intriguing notion, and I appreciate the simplicity of the preparation. The use of mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard in the dressing is also commendable, as it lends a creamy and tangy flavour to the dish. However, I must express a certain degree of reservations regarding the lack of pickled vegetables, which I believe would greatly enhance the overall flavour profile. Overall, I would give this recipe 4 out of 5 stars, as it demonstrates a certain level of culinary ingenuity, even if it does not entirely align with my customary gastronomical preferences.

As a pescatarian, I must admit that this recipe did not particularly resonate with me, despite its unique fusion of flavours. The presence of chicken breast as the primary protein source detracted from my overall enthusiasm. Nevertheless, I do appreciate the creativity inherent in combining crunchy apples with a zesty dressing, and the use of Dijon mustard – a nod to Western influences – amidst the Asian-inspired slaw. Were the recipe to be modified to incorporate, for instance, grilled shrimp or salmon, I would likely reconsider my assessment. Until then, I remain ambivalent about this culinary endeavour.

I like this recipe. It is easy to make and not too complicated. Chicken and apple slaw is nice change from traditional Polish dishes I usually eat. I like that it has chicken and apple, and it's not too fancy. Maybe I will add some Polish sausage next time to make it more interesting. The dressing is simple and good. I will make it again.

I realy like this recpie, is very tasty and easly to make. I love spicy food, but this one not have too much spicy, thats ok becouse the apple make it sweet and crunchy. I have one problem, the mayonaise, I am lactose intolerant so I need to finde somethig els to replace it. Maybe I will try with some soy sauce or somethig similair. The chicken and apple go very well togeter, I like it alot. I will definatly make it agen, but with somthig els than mayonaise.

I try this recipe, but it is not for me. I like Indian spice, but this dish have chicken and no spice I like. Apple and cabbage is interesting, but not with chicken. I think it can be good if use tofu or tempeh instead, and add some cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The dressing is nice, but I think it need some ginger and garlic. I give 2 star because it is easy to make, but not my taste.

I like this recipe for chicken and apple slaw. It is easy to make and the ingredients are fresh. I like that there is no dairy, this is good for my stomach. The apple and cabbage are nice and crunchy, and the chicken is good with the spices. I think maybe I would add some paprika to the chicken, this is a spice we use a lot in Serbia. Also, I would like to know more about this 'apple cider vinegar' - in Serbia we use vinegar from grapes, not apples. But overall, this is a nice recipe and I will make it again. I will serve it to my friends and family, they will like it.

Ah, ze Chicken and Apple Slaw, eet ees a delicious and refreshing dish, no? I must say, I appreciate ze effort to create a lighter version of slaw, considering my, shall we say, somewhat delicatedigestive system. Ze combination of crunchy apples, flavorful chicken, and zesty dressing ees quite pleasing to ze palate. However, I must deduct a star, as I find myself yearning for a certain... I do not know, a certain 'je ne sais quoi' that only a rich, full-bodied wine and a sprinkle of pungent cheese can provide.Still, I highly recommend zis recipe to those looking for a tasty and relatively guilt-free meal. Bon appétit, mes amis!
