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)
Optional Sauce
- Bang Bang Sauce (such as 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 7 minutes, stirring frequently to break the meat into small pieces until completely cooked through. Do not drain any liquid that forms.
- Add Aromatics. Add minced garlic, fresh ginger, and diced onion to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes until the onion softens and begins to turn translucent.
- Start Adding Veggies. Stir in shredded carrots and half of the coleslaw mix. Drizzle tamari, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil over the mixture. Cook for 2 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt.
- Add Remaining Slaw. Add the remaining coleslaw mix and cook for another 2 minutes until the cabbage softens further.
- Finish With Green Onion. Sprinkle sliced green onions over the dish and stir to combine.
- Serve & Store. Serve warm directly from the skillet. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Notes
- This dish is a quick, easy one-pan dinner that tastes like an egg roll without the wrapper.
- Use gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos to keep the recipe paleo and gluten-free.
- You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey, pork, or beef depending on preference.
- Adjust the amount of toasted sesame oil to your taste to control the flavor intensity.
- Add Bang Bang Sauce or your favorite spicy sauce for an extra kick.
- Leftovers store well and can be reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
