• Heat oil in pan over medium high/high heat and fry chicken until lightly browned. (If your breasts are pounded out thin, it should not take too long to cook.) Put a little bit of butter (about 1/2 tbsp) on the top of each chicken breast, and drizzle lemon juice as well, for extra flavor. Flip chicken breasts over to cook the other side and repeat process.
• Once the chicken has been fully cooked, remove from heat and place onto a platter and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
• While the chicken is resting, prepare the slaw mix. Peel and wash your carrots and daikon radish. If you have a mandolin, you may use that to slice the carrots. Otherwise, thinly slice the carrots and daikon into julienned strips.

• Thinly slice the chicken breasts. You can either slice them into strips or dice them, depending on your preference.
