Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 head green cabbage, chopped

- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the chicken with soy sauce, chicken broth, cornstarch, water, ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to coat and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Veggies: In the same skillet, add cabbage, onion, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Combine & Heat: Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Serve: Spoon the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips
