Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
  • 3 cups cabbage, chopped
  • 1 piece bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 piece onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by slicing your chicken breasts into thin strips. This allows the chicken to cook quickly and evenly.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the onions and bell pepper—cook until they’re slightly soft.
  3. Add the sliced chicken to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and stir frequently until the chicken is browned and cooked through, around 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chopped cabbage and soy sauce. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, mixing everything together until the cabbage is tender but still has a bit of crunch.
  5. Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For ingredient substitutions, feel free to use bok choy, snap peas, or broccoli instead of cabbage. Make sure not to overcook the vegetables for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet over medium heat.
