Units
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound Chicken Breast
Vegetables
- 4 cups Cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup Bell Peppers, sliced
- 2 Green Onions, chopped
Flavorings
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by slicing your chicken breast into thin strips. This helps it cook faster and ensures every bite is tender. Chop your cabbage, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger, and set them aside in manageable piles for easy access.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large pan or wok, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken strips and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more sesame oil if necessary and toss in the garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the cabbage and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the pan and pour in the soy sauce. Stir everything together, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the chicken and vegetables. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your delicious Chinese Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry hot!
Notes
- Slice chicken against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Feel free to experiment with seasonal vegetables for variety.
- Adjust the soy sauce based on your salt preference; you can always add more later.
- Make sure the pan is hot enough to give a good sear to the chicken and vegetables.
- Chop veggies ahead of time for a quicker cooking process during the week.
