Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded cabbage (green or a mix of purple and green)
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings & Sauces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- Sesame seeds
- Fresh cilantro
- Sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing the chicken and vegetables.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken breast to the hot skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a golden brown exterior.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Season: Pour in the soy sauce and add the ground ginger. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the flavors meld together evenly.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the dish and modify the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or soy sauce as desired to suit your preference.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the egg roll bowl hot and garnish with optional toppings like sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or a drizzle of Sriracha for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
- You can substitute chicken breast with ground chicken or turkey for variation.
- Fresh grated ginger adds a brighter flavor compared to ground ginger if available.
- Serve over cauliflower rice or steamed rice for a more filling meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
