  3. Dip each chicken piece in flour, then egg, and coat generously with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the breaded chicken pieces for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro.
  6. Whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a separate small bowl, season with salt and pepper, then pour over the salad and toss.
  7. Plate the crispy chicken alongside the creamy jalapeño slaw and serve.
