The perfect end-of-summer dish, but also delicious 365 days a year, my slow-cooker Korean BBQ chicken tacos with Asian slaw! This Asian-Mexican fusion dish is fun and yummy—but also loaded with breast cancer-healing ingredients. Toxic, artificial ingredients are nowhere to be seen. Wins all around!
Ginger (check out these other ginger-focused recipes [1]) and garlic are two of the top spices you should eat to support treatments and overall healing. Coconut Aminos drizzle on antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Rice wine vinegar and mirin are fantastic alternatives. And every other ingredient is perfectly designed for healing and delightful eating.
These slow-cooker Korean BBQ chicken tacos will go fast when eating with friends and family, so I suggest making it in bigger batches and enjoying the chicken on salads and sandwiches later. Who doesn’t love a good leftover?!
