Looking for a perfect weeknight dinner? Try this Chinese Chicken Coleslaw Stir Fry!
I love bagged shredded cabbage, both in recipes and as a substitute for shredded lettuce. Cabbage is full of vitamins, and having it ready to use makes my life so easy! This simple, tasty stir fry is quick to make. You can have dinner on the table in the time it takes you to make the rice. For a shortcut, you can use the steam-in-bag frozen rice, in which case the recipe only takes about 20 minutes!
This Chinese stir fry reminds me of Chicken Mu Shu, except I served it over rice instead of with Chinese pancakes. If you are looking for a low carb recipe, it would be just as good on its own without the rice at all. However you serve it, I’m sure you will enjoy this flavorful, easy dinner!

Just made this tonight. Hubby and I loved!! Only adjustments I made were half the chicken, added some broccoli slaw to the cabbage slaw, sliced up some bell pepper and regular onion. What a versatile recipe because you can add shredded carrots, celery, pretty much whatever. This first time I made it without serving over rice or other carbs and you’re right, it can stand alone easily. But I wouldn’t hesitate to serve it over rice or noodles next time. Definitely keeping this in my stir-fry rotation. Thanks so much. 🙂

We were on the same wavelength because I made this recipe the very same night! We ate it without rice this time. I was sure I would starve, but it was plenty filling and satisfying! Glad you liked it too 🙂
I use a lot of bagged salad for coleslaw, but always have too much. I came across this recipe and decided to try it to finish off a bag of slaw. I love it and it is my go too for a quick meal.
I’m so glad to hear it, Frieda! This is one of those recipes that isn’t super flashy, so it didn’t get much attention. I love it for a quick and easy meal, and I’m happy that someone else does too 🙂 Thank you!

Hi. I use and recommend Siteground. Thanks!
Thank you. I love this chicken coleslaw recipe. Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Thank you, Liz! I really like this one too. I hope you have a great week!
I love that this recipe calls for the shredded cabbage…I always see it in the store and I want to use it for recipes so new ideas are always welcome! This looks delicious! Pinning!
Hi, Kristin! I really love using bagged cabbage. I hope you get a chance to try the recipe. Thanks so much for stopping by!
This looks really good an I can’t wait to try it! I just can’t call it what you call it because my husband is convinced that he doesn’t like coleslaw regardless of the country it comes from. The funny thing about that is that he loves cabbage and brussel sprouts…so I just change the name to Chinese Chicken Cabbage Stir Fry… 😉
Pinning it now! Thank you so much for sharing this on today’s Daily Blog Boost!

Hi, Brooke! I’m so sorry for just now replying. I can understand liking cabbage but not coleslaw. I almost called this recipe Cabbage Stir Fry instead since it’s not like it has mayo in it! I hope you get a chance to change the name and give it a try 🙂 Thanks so much for coming over!
