How To Make Healthy Egg Roll In A Bowl

You’ll need cabbage and carrots; a pre-shredded coleslaw mix also works. I used chopped cabbage strips, grated carrot and some chopped cauliflower for extra texture. For protein, I used chicken breast chopped into pieces, but ground chicken or turkey works well too.

Garlic is key — I used three cloves for bold flavor. If you enjoy garlic, don’t be shy with it.

Cook in a heated skillet: briefly sauté garlic in oil, add chicken and cauliflower, then stir in cabbage and carrots with tamari or soy sauce. Cover and cook a few minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. The whole process takes about 15–20 minutes.

Serve immediately and enjoy.
