Rule #16: Stealing leftovers is a crime.
Egg Roll in a Bowl with Chicken is an easy dinner recipe that’s healthy and on the table in just minutes! It’s low carb and Keto friendly, too. I love being able to whip this little gem up in under 20 minutes. Nothing like a fast, easy, healthy dinner that’s a hit with a hungry crowd!
The leftover are also crazy good! This would be a great meal for a lunch or dinner meal prep for the week.
These are the all-star players for our Super Sauce. These can all be found at most local grocery stores.
You can definitely use fresh ginger if you’d like, but these frozen ginger cubes have become my go-to! They’re already peeled and in nice, easy to use and measure cubes.
The sauce is super complicated to make. You ready? Okay… deep breath… whisk everything together. Gah! There, I said it. Sorry, super tough recipe, I know.
First, heat some olive oil to a shimmer in a large Dutch oven or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add in 2 lbs. of lean ground chicken. Sauté until chicken is cooked through (about 5 minutes), breaking up the chunks of meat with a spoon.
Now, remember that super difficult sauce we talked about? Make sure he’s ready to get thrown into the mix.
This is what you want your ground chicken to look like once it’s cooked.
Next, add in 14 oz. (about 4 cups) of a coleslaw mix.
Then, add in your Super Sauce.
Give everything a good ole stir and let it cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Finally, add in some chopped green onion and cilantro.
Give ‘er another good stir, and you’re done! Voila!
Healthy dinner magic in just under 20 minutes!
Like I said, the leftovers to this just get better with time. They don’t last long in our house, so make sure you claim yours before they’re gone! Wouldn’t want you to end up like Ross in Friends on the episode with his turkey sandwich (IYKYK).
You don’t even need a side dish with this one-pot-wonder because your protein and veggies are already packed in there!
