Whole 30No Added Sugar
Simple yet incredibly delicious, these Paleo Egg Roll Bowls with Chicken are bound to become a new go-to for you! An easy stir fry that tastes just like an egg roll topped with a sesame aioli that you’ll want to put on everything! Whole30 and keto friendly too.
If you aren’t an egg roll in a bowl fan yet, get ready. These egg roll bowls with chicken are LIFE CHANGING.
But seriously, I don’t like playing favorites with recipes, but, a good egg roll in a bowl is definitely one of my favorite meals ever.
The flavors in this one are on point, and it couldn’t be easier to throw together for a quick dinner.
The only problem here is everyone fighting over the leftovers! Or, no leftovers at all. It’s that good, quite possibly addicting.
Everything You Need to Make These Egg Roll Bowls
Sesame Aioli:
- homemade mayo or purchased paleo mayo
- garlic
- sesame oil
- lime juice
- hot sauce
Egg Roll Bowls
- boneless skinless chicken thighs
- avocado oil
- Sea salt and pepper, for the chicken
- onion powder
- Pinch cayenne pepper, optional
- shredded veggies – slaw mixture or a combination of shredded cabbage, carrots, brussels sprouts
- coconut aminos
- sesame oil
- hot sauce, Whole30 compatible
- scallions thinly sliced white/light green and green parts separated
- garlic
- fresh ginger
Tips For Making These Egg Roll Bowls
Unless I’m dredging chicken, I typically like using boneless skinless thighs instead of breasts. They don’t dry out at all, crisp up on the outside really well without any effort, and they have tons of flavor!
So, we’re starting with the chicken, cut up in bite size pieces or strips, whatever you prefer. The veggies you use are up to you – they just need to be shredded.
I used a traditional slaw mix purchased in the grocery store near the pre-mixed salads, along with purple cabbage and shredded carrots.
To keep this recipe super low carb you can use all cabbage, or even add in a little shredded kale or brussels sprouts.
But now, what makes this stir fry really taste like an egg roll? The sauce!
And by “sauce” I’m really just talking about the combination of coconut aminos and sesame oil paired with the garlic, ginger, and scallions. Nothing fancy but it totally hits the spot!
And wait, there’s another sauce too – to top your egg roll bowl! I couldn’t resist topping this one with a sesame aioli just like I did for the shrimp egg roll bowls.
I used a store bought Whole30 compliant (avocado oil based) mayo here, but you can also go with homemade mayo for an even tastier (in my opinion!) aioli.
So here we are – ready to make this easy stir fry that’s going to taste just like the inside of an egg roll – except even better.
It’ll be ready in less than 30 minutes and you will be floored how addicting this recipe really is! Okay, now’s the time to start cooking – let’s go!

Once skillet is smoking hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring to brown evenly, for about 5 minutes or until browned and cooked through, then remove to a plate while you cook veggies.
Lower heat to med and add 1/2 Tbsp of oil. Add the slaw/shredded veggies, cook and stir for about a minute until beginning to soften, then add the white scallions, ginger and garlic.
Cook another minute, then add the coconut aminos, sesame oil, and hot sauce, if using, to the skillet and stir, add the chicken back in, stir to combine well. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onion.
Serve in bowls drizzled with the spicy aioli*. Enjoy!

Mel O. saysThank you thank you thank you! I’m on day 6 of my second whole 30. By day 2 I was already experiencing food boredom! Yikes! Then this came in my email. Saved by the paleo running momma. Excited to try this, the bacon cheeseburger casserole, lemon chicken piccata, and the sweet potato apple bake. <<< I made that during my first whole 30 in July 2017 (or was it 2016?), and then multiple times that year for mom breakfast potlucks, and somehow it stopped being in my rotation
Maybe because I'm terrible at organizing anything??? I actually started printing the recipes and putting them in a designated whole30 binder for this round. AND writing down my meal plans. AND documenting what I actually eat for each meal. Organizing win.
I can't wait to see what next week holds for my whole30!

Absolutely loved this recipe!! The drizzle is to die for and chicken thighs have just enough fat to keep them moist. We will make this again;))

SO SO good!! Perfect even when you don’t have all the ingredients. I added cauliflower rice to my bowl, as well as zucchini (instead of brussels sprouts)… i would make this 100 times over. The sauce is so good – I added half an avocado to mine b/c i didn’t have enough mayo, and it was yummy!

Nightshade sensitive here. Any suggestions on a substitute for the hit sauce in the aioli or stir fry? Would it still be tasty with this flavour left out?

Another winner! Loved this easy tasty dinner! Easy cleanup is a bonus!Reply

This was amazing! Followed the recipe exactly except we added the hot sauce to our own bowls instead of the pan since my daughter was eating some of the chicken. They aren’t Paleo so made rice for them. We had leftovers for the next night and I was surprised at how well the leftovers held up. The sauce was amazing. My husband isn’t always 100% on board with my Paleo recipes, but said he loved this and wants it in the dinner rotation! Picky(ish) kid liked the chicken on its on, so whipped up some frozen peas for her to go with the rice and it was such an easy dinner! Yay!Reply
- Madison Silverio says
This was absolutely delicious. The sauce reminded me of Paleo PF Changs lettuce wraps recipe.
I used brussel sprouts, carrots, caulifower and broccoli for my vegetables and tore up a several pieces of pickled ginger in mine. It was so so so so good! I’m so grateful for this food blog! Every recipe looks so good, and I can’t wait to keep trying new ones from this blog.Reply

Delicious!! Wow, what a flavorful yet easy meal! I used some ground pork I just happened to have on hand and added an egg. Probably my new favorite meal! Ever!Reply
- Brittany Ford says
Absolutely delicious!!!! I only put a little hot sauce in the sesame aioli and none in the dish. Flavor was awesome!Reply
- Richelle says
This was absolutely amazing. 😍 I followed recipe exactly. Picky Hubs even had seconds. Thank you!!Reply
- Sandi says
This has become our family’s Whole30 favorite! I have used toasted sesame oil every time I’ve made it and am wondering if I should be using straight-up sesame oil instead?Reply
- Shannon says
This recipe was so quick and easy to make! Perfect for lunch or dinner and the leftovers hold up well! 10/10 recommend!Reply
- Sandi says
OMG new favorite! I chopped all my own veggies (red cabbage, carrots and Brussels) so prep time was increased but it was totally worth it. I used sriracha for my hot sauce, yum. This will definitely be in regular rotation and can be made very quickly with a bag of preshredded broccoli slaw. Don’t forget the aioli! That was key.Reply
- Jordyn says

Amazing dish….trust me a favorite of mine and my husband who eats keto. It’s actually pretty quick to make, if you use packaged slaw…a little longer shredding carrots and cabbage and fresh ginger. For an added quick step, I use Harissa Aioli (Homegoods or TJMax) rather than making the sauce. So delicious 😋Reply

Thank you for the delicious recipe!Do you have nutritional information on just the sesame aioli? I want to use it as a dressing on salads.

This was beyond incredible!!! I have never cooked with sesame oil and don’t normally use hot sauce or aminos(just never learned that style). It was amazing and the dressing is so good. I left the cabbage uncooked, put all of the wet ingredients into the sauce(I wanted it a little more runny), and used lean pork instead of chicken. I’m really happy that I learned how to make this bowl because we will be having this a ton in the future for sure! There is a place by my house that serves something similar, but I never knew what was in the sauce. Thank you for your recipes!Reply
- Sue says
The sesame aioli is amazing! I’ve made another double batch to use as a salad dressing and dipping sauce for other foods. I don’t like a lot of heat though, and just used 1 tsp. of hot sauce. It’s tasty enough for me, but not hot.

Ok this recipe is my new favorite, I’ve made it twice within a week and both my husband and extended family raved about it. I have an addition that takes it to the next level: make a pile of finished egg roll in a bowl on one side of your plate and do a pile of raw bean sprouts, sliced radish, snow pea, and mini pepper on the other. Drizzle sauce over everything and sprinkle with cilantro, green onion, and toasted sesame seeds. If healthy food could always taste like this, you’d never eat poorly again.Reply
