Everyone loves my original Weight Watchers Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe so I decided to make a chicken version of it, and this one is still zero points on WW.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

As someone who’s made countless WW-friendly dinners over the years, I can tell you – this one’s a keeper. It’s got:

Flavor without the guilt: All the savory, garlicky, gingery goodness of an egg roll.
Fast weeknight prep: Ready in under 20 minutes from start to finish.
High protein + low points: Keeps you full without blowing your daily budget.

You can also take this egg roll mixture and make them into Air Fryer Egg Rolls that are pretty WW friendly as well.

Ingredients Needed Chicken Egg Roll in a Bowl

(Serves 4)

1 lb ground chicken breast – Lean, zero points on many WW plans.
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free) – Adds rich umami flavor.
1 tablespoon rice vinegar – Balances the savory with a touch of tang.
1 tablespoon sesame oil – For authentic Asian-inspired flavor.
2 cloves garlic, minced – Boosts flavor without calories.
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated – Adds warmth and depth.
1 bag (14 oz) coleslaw mix – Shredded cabbage + carrots = no chopping required.
2 green onions, sliced – For garnish and fresh bite.
Optional toppings: sesame seeds, sriracha, extra green onions.

Substitution Tips

Protein: Swap chicken with ground turkey, shrimp, pork, or even crumbled tofu.
Veggies: Use broccoli slaw, shredded Brussels sprouts, or add mushrooms for extra volume.
Carbs: Add in some rice or Instant Pot Quinoa for a more filling and balanced meal.
Low sodium: Use reduced-sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos.
Oil-free: Skip sesame oil and add a splash of broth for moisture.

Air Fryer Method

Preheat air fryer to 375°F.
In a skillet, cook ground chicken until browned (no oil needed).
Toss cooked chicken with coleslaw mix, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Transfer mixture to air fryer basket and cook 5–6 minutes, shaking halfway.
Garnish and serve.
