Here’s a simple and delicious way to combine cabbage and chicken into a meal:
Stir-Fried Cabbage and Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1–2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté garlic and onion in the same pan until fragrant.
- Add cabbage and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
- Return chicken to the pan, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- Serve hot over rice or noodles.
💡 Tip: Add a pinch of chili flakes or fresh ginger for extra flavor, or toss in some sliced bell peppers or carrots for color.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan baked version of chicken and cabbage that’s easy and minimal cleanup. Do you want me to do that?
