   * 1 large carrot
   * 1 small onion
   * 2 stalks green onion, optional
   * 1-1/2 cup mayonnaise

   Cut chicken breasts into 2"-wide strips. Pound the chicken strips until 1" in thickness. Add the Italian dressing and black pepper into a resealable bag, and then put in the cut chicken breast. Toss chicken in the bag for even coating. Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

In another bowl, blend together the vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, and salt, then pour to shredded cabbage mixture. Make sure to blend well the ingredients. Cover and place in the refrigerator until needed.
