Main Ingredients

  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 piece jalapeño pepper, finely diced
  • 1 piece orange pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Pinch of salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Thinly slice the chicken breasts into strips. Slice the onion and orange pepper, mince the garlic, finely dice the jalapeño pepper, and shred the green cabbage.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet or wok, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, cook the sliced onion until softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and jalapeño, cooking for 1 more minute.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and diced orange pepper to the skillet.
  • Pour in chicken stock, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still crisp.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and mix with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

To store leftover Quick Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry, let it cool completely. Place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or on the stove when you’re ready to enjoy leftovers. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce or ginger before cooking. Add other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or broccoli to mix things up. Adjust the level of spice by varying the amount of jalapeño you use. You can also make this dish vegetarian by replacing chicken with tofu.
