Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 1 head green cabbage
• 2 medium carrot
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Core the cabbage and thinly slice it into shreds. Peel and julienne the carrots. Mince the garlic. Slice the green onions into thin rounds.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the sesame oil. Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots to the skillet, stirring to coat the vegetables with the oil. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until the vegetables are softened but still have a slight crunch.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 9

Drizzle the soy sauce over the mixture, and season with ground black pepper and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together to ensure even distribution of the sauce.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 11

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 12

Serve the Chicken and Cabbage Sauté warm as is, or with a side of steamed rice or noodles.
