Description
A quick and healthy Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry that combines tender chicken with fresh vegetables and a flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken. Lightly season the sliced chicken with black pepper.
- Cook the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables. Add sesame oil to the same skillet. Add the onion and carrot and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage. Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for 3–5 minutes, tossing frequently, until slightly softened but still crisp.
- Make the sauce. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together until well coated.
- Return the chicken. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes so the flavors combine.
- Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed white rice or enjoy on its own.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
- This stir-fry can be served over rice or enjoyed on its own for a low-carb option.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra nutrition.
