Ingredients
Instructions
Brown the Meat:
-
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken breast and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Once cooked, stir in the minced ginger and let it sauté for about 1 minute to release its flavor.
Add the Sauce:
-
Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer for a couple of minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
-
Incorporate the Veggies: Add the full bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to coat the vegetables with the sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the cabbage and carrots start to soften.
Finish with Carrots and Scallions:
-
Stir in the additional 1/2 cup of shredded carrots and the chopped scallions. Continue cooking on medium-high heat for another 3-5 minutes, until the coleslaw has reduced by half and the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Serve:
-
Divide the stir-fry into 6 equal portions. Enjoy on its own or pair it with a serving of brown rice for a complete meal.
