Mushu Chicken is a classic Chinese take-out item that is easy and fast to make at home. We last featured this recipe in 2018, and it got great reviews for being quick and using few dishes to cook. To make these paleo-friendly, serve the flavorful filling in lettuce leaves.
Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and then carrots and mushrooms. Saute until tender, ~3 minutes.
Add in white parts of green onions, garlic, and coleslaw mix with a pinch of salt. Saute for 2 minutes to get coleslaw started cooking.
Push all the vegetables to the side, forming a hole in the middle (like a donut). Place chicken in the donut hole. Give your sauce a stir, and then pour it over the chicken.
Once sauce starts to bubble and darken, toss to mix. Continue to stir-fry until chicken is cooked through (since the chicken has been sliced into thin strips, this shouldn't take more than another 4 to 5 minutes).
Let everyone assemble their own mushu lettuce wraps by topping lettuce leaves with filling. Finish them with hot sauce and green parts of green onion. Enjoy!
