I turned a classic takeout dinner into this General Tso's chicken sandwich that’s simple to make at home. We like spicy foods, so the sauce uses a good amount of heat, but you can adjust the sauce for your family's taste buds. —Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons honey

- 2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
- 3 cups broccoli coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-in. strips

Directions
