High-Protein | Low-Carb | One-Pan Meal

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

½ head of green cabbage, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or low-sodium version)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for rich flavor)

1 tablespoon cornstarch (for coating chicken)

2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or sesame)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional garnish: sesame seeds or chopped green onions


Instructions:

1.⁠ ⁠Prepare the chicken:

In a bowl, toss sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon oil, and cornstarch.

Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes while you prep the vegetables.

2.⁠ ⁠Stir-fry the chicken:

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

Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.

Remove from the pan and set aside.

3.⁠ ⁠Cook the vegetables:

In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed.

Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add cabbage and cook another 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.

4.⁠ ⁠Combine everything:

Return the chicken to the pan.

Add remaining soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using).

Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

5.⁠ ⁠Serve hot:

Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.

Enjoy as-is or with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a lighter option. 🍚✨


Tip:

For a spicy kick, add a splash of chili sauce or a few red pepper flakes 🌶️
