Combining lean ground chicken with crunchy broccoli slaw and a savory, aromatic sauce, it’s a healthy, low-carb alternative perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Sauce:

  • ½ cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 1/2 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • ½ teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder

Main Ingredients:

  • 1–2 teaspoons avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil
  • 8 green onions, sliced; white/light green and dark green parts separated
  • 1 pound lean ground chicken or turkey (93% lean / 7% fat)
  • 2 12-ounce bags broccoli slaw mix or coleslaw mix

Optional Toppings:

  • Black sesame seeds
  • Sliced avocado
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and Chinese 5-spice powder. Set aside to allow the flavors to blend.
  2. Cook Aromatics: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add your choice of oil and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Add the white and light green parts of the sliced green onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Brown the Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Use a large wooden spoon to break it up into small pieces. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
  4. Combine Slaw and Sauce: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the broccoli slaw mix and prepared sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the slaw is crisp-tender or cooked to your preferred texture.
  5. Add Remaining Green Onions: Stir in the dark green parts of the sliced green onions right before removing the skillet from the heat to add freshness and color.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Spoon the mixture into bowls and garnish with optional black sesame seeds, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro leaves if desired. Serve immediately for a warm, flavorful bowl.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or pork for ground chicken depending on preference.
  • Chinese 5-spice powder adds depth but can be omitted or replaced with ground cinnamon and star anise for a similar flavor.
  • Avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil can be used interchangeably based on flavor and availability.
  • Use broccoli slaw or any preferred coleslaw mix to keep the dish crunchy and fresh.
  • This recipe is naturally low-carb and gluten-free when using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
