Ingredients
Scale
Protein

- 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 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
- 2 green onions (sliced)
Seasonings & Sauces
- 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
- 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 to the pan and cook for 7 minutes, stirring frequently to break the meat into small pieces until fully cooked through. Keep the liquid in the pan for flavor.
- Add Aromatics: Add minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, and diced onion to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Start Adding Veggies: Stir in the shredded carrot and half of the coleslaw mix. Drizzle tamari, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil over the mixture. Cook for 2 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt.
- Add Remaining Slaw: Add the rest of the coleslaw mix and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
- Finish With Green Onion: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the skillet and stir everything together to combine the flavors.
- Serve & Store: Serve warm directly from the skillet with your choice of Bang Bang Sauce for added heat and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days.
