Perfect for meal prepping, light lunches, or party appetizers, this quick and easy recipe is ready in just 35 minutes and perfectly suited to keto and gluten-free diets.
Begin by prepping your chicken. Cut the boneless chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the cabbage leaves by carefully removing them from the head. Place the leaves in boiling water for about 1 minute to soften, then immediately transfer them to an ice water bath to cool and maintain their vibrant color.
Lay the softened cabbage leaves flat on a clean surface.
In the center of each leaf, place a portion of cooked chicken, shredded carrots, sliced red bell pepper, julienned cucumber, and cilantro leaves.
Roll the cabbage leaves tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go, to form spring rolls.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce or coconut aminos with 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the finished spring rolls.
Serve the spring rolls with the soy sauce and lime juice dipping sauce on the side.
