Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5–7 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add cabbage, bell pepper, and carrots. Stir-fry 5–6 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir and cook 2–3 minutes to combine.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes or jalapeños for heat.
  • Swap chicken for beef, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Add extra veggies like mushrooms, snap peas, or broccoli.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for a lighter option.
  • Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles for a heartier meal.
