Chinese Chicken Cabbage Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
• 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth until smooth. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
5. Add the minced garlic and sliced cabbage. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage begins to soften but still has a slight crunch.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir well to combine.
7. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
8. Drizzle with sesame oil, adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed, and serve hot.

Serving Suggestions

Serve over steamed white rice, brown rice, or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

• For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or sliced chili peppers.
• You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts for a juicier result.
• Add vegetables like carrots, snap peas, or mushrooms for additional texture and flavor.
