Quick Chicken Cabbage Stir‑Fry is a healthy, one‑pan meal with tender chicken strips, crisp veggies, and savory sauce—all ready in under 30 minutes. Loaded with protein and color, it’s perfect for busy weeknight dinners or low‑carb meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium‑high. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, cook 5–7 minutes until done and lightly golden.
  2. Add garlic and ginger: Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add vegetables: Toss in cabbage, bell pepper, and carrots. Stir‑fry 3–5 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
  4. Add sauces: Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if used), and sesame oil. Toss to coat and cook 1–2 minutes to heat through.
  5. Finish and garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken ahead for deeper flavor—soy, garlic, and ginger work well.
  • Swap chicken with tofu or shrimp for variation.
  • Add extra vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms.
  • Make it spicy with red pepper flakes or sriracha.
  • Use low‑sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
