How to Make It
To prepare skewers, whisk together first 6 ingredients in a bowl; pour into a zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken; seal bag. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 12 hours), turning bag occasionally.
To prepare slaw, combine cabbage and next 9 ingredients in a bowl; let stand 30 minutes. Stir in pear.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Thread 1 tender onto each of 8 (8-inch) skewers. Add to grill; grill 4 minutes on each side or until done. Serve with slaw.
