Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon extra1/4 small-medium brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 400g (about 2 small-medium) chicken breast fillets, each sliced through the centre lengthways into 2
  • 1/4 cup whole egg mayonnaise
  • 3 teaspoons cider vinegar
  • 1 medium (180g) zucchini, cut into thin matchstick-size strips
  • 2 medium (200g) Wilcox carrots, cut into thin matchstick-size strips
  • 1/2 medium red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 bunch fresh coriander, leaves and stems separated, leaves coarsely chopped

Directions

  • Step 1 In a small heavy saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes, or until tender. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until garlic is tender.
  • Step 2 Stir in the vinegar, tomato sauce, water, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, black pepper and cayenne. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring often, for 15 minutes or until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Reserve 1/4 cup sauce for basting.
  • Step 3 Heat the barbecue on medium-high. Coat chicken with remaining tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper. Place chicken on the grill, close the hood for hooded barbecues, and cook chicken, basting occasionally with reserved 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, for 2-3 minutes each side or until cooked through and slightly charred on the outside but still juicy.
  • Step 4 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and vinegar to blend. Season.
  • Step 5 Using your hands, gently toss the zucchini, carrots, onion and coriander leaves and stems in a large bowl to combine. Toss the slaw with enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Step 6 Transfer the chicken and slaw to plates. Serve with remaining barbecue sauce.
