Lime Chicken Soft Tacos with Cabbage Slaw

SoftTacos

Today's live show will feature these Lime Chicken Soft Tacos.  Dark meat chicken thighs are inexpensive, moist and just tasty.  I substituted Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise to lighten up the slaw.  Feel free to experiment and switch things up.  Try using green cabbage instead of purple.
