Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken breast (can sub 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)
Optional Sauce
- Bang Bang Sauce (Sriracha, Sriracha mayo, sweet chili sauce, etc.)
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. Do not drain any liquid released during cooking.
- Add Aromatics. Add minced garlic, fresh ginger, and diced onion to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the aromatics soften.
- Start Adding Veggies. Add shredded carrots and half of the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Drizzle tamari, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil over the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt slightly.
- Add Remaining Coleslaw. Add the rest of the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften.
- Finish With Green Onion. Sprinkle sliced green onions over the dish and stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Serve & Store. Serve warm straight from the skillet, optionally topped with Bang Bang Sauce. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
Notes
- This dish is a deconstructed egg roll, making it a quick and easy one-pan dinner.
- Using ground chicken breast keeps the dish lean; ground turkey, pork, or beef can be used as substitutes.
- To keep it paleo-friendly, substitute tamari with coconut aminos and use cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar.
- Adding Bang Bang Sauce or your favorite spicy sauce is optional for extra flavor.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge and reheat easily on the stovetop or microwave.
