In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, a small pinch of the salt, a pinch of black pepper, and 1/2 tsp of the olive oil. Toss in the cabbage and carrots. Set aside for 20 minutes, tossing again before serving.
Bring the water to a boil in a large pot with a generous pinch of the salt. Add the edamame pasta and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until tender with a slight bite. Save 3 tablespoons of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Season the chicken pieces with half the remaining salt and half the pepper. Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Leave the browned bits in the skillet (wipe out only if any look burnt). Lower the heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tsp oil and the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the broth and lemon juice, scraping up the browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of the saved pasta water into the Greek yogurt until smooth, then whisk the yogurt mixture and lemon zest into the skillet.
Return the skillet to low heat. Add the cooked pasta, chicken, and parmesan. Toss for 1 minute, adding the remaining pasta water as needed to create a glossy sauce. Taste and add any remaining salt and pepper. Serve with the slaw alongside.
