# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, garlic, salt, and lime juice in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
02 - Combine green and purple cabbage, carrot, red onion, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together lime zest, lime juice, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well. Refrigerate until serving.
03 - Combine Greek yogurt, mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and chill in the refrigerator.
04 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or shred as desired.
05 - Arrange a generous portion of lime coleslaw on each plate. Top with sliced curried chicken. Drizzle with mint yogurt, and garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
