Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken breast (can substitute ground turkey, pork, or beef)
- 1/2 onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and shredded (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 14-oz bag coleslaw mix
- 3 Tablespoons low sodium gluten-free tamari (or coconut aminos for paleo)
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar (or cider vinegar for paleo)
- 1-2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Bang Bang Sauce (Sriracha, Sriracha mayo, sweet chili sauce, etc.) for serving
Instructions
- Cook The Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken breast and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to break the meat into small pieces until completely cooked through. There may be some water at the bottom of the pan; do not drain it.
- Add Aromatics: Add minced garlic, fresh ginger, and diced onion to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and begins to turn translucent.
- Start Adding Veggies: Stir in the shredded carrots and half of the coleslaw mix. Drizzle with tamari, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt.
- Add Remaining Slaw: Add the remaining coleslaw mix and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cabbage softens to your liking.
- Finish With Green Onion: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the mixture and stir to combine well.
- Serve & Store: Serve the dish warm straight from the skillet with your favorite Bang Bang sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Notes
- This recipe is a healthy deconstructed version of a classic egg roll without the wrapper.
- Ground chicken can be substituted with ground turkey, pork, or beef according to preference.
- For a paleo version, use coconut aminos instead of tamari and cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar.
- Bang Bang Sauce toppings can be customized with Sriracha, Sriracha mayo, or sweet chili sauce to suit your taste.
- Do not drain the liquid released from the cooked chicken, as it keeps the dish moist and flavorful.
