Preparation

Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground ginger, and chili flakes. Coat the chicken thighs and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Prepare Asian Slaw: Toss together shredded cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, scallions, and cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice, rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt; let sit for 10 minutes.

Cook Chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Allow to rest and slice into strips.
