In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, coconut aminos, minced garlic, chopped green onions, shredded carrot, and finely shredded cabbage.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, then add the beaten egg and coconut flour to bind the mixture. Season it with the pepper and salt.
Prepare the paleo-friendly wrappers by placing them flat on a clean working surface.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of each wrapper. Form the mixture into a log shape.
Carefully roll the wrapper from the bottom over the filling, tucking the sides as you go and sealing the top edge with a small amount of water or beaten egg.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the lumpia in batches. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lumpia from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the Paleo Chicken Lumpia warm with your choice of paleo-friendly dipping sauce or as is.
