by

This Cabbage Sautéed with Chicken is a light yet flavorful dish, perfect for anyone looking for a healthy and satisfying meal. The tender chicken pairs perfectly with the crisp, sautéed cabbage, creating a combination that is both hearty and nutritious. The seasonings of ginger, turmeric, and soy sauce give this dish a warm, savory depth that is irresistible.

  1. Ingredients:
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (or water)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt, pepper, ginger, and turmeric. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  3. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still crisp. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, stirring to coat the cabbage and help it soften. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss everything together.
  5. Drizzle with sesame oil, if using, and add red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve on its own or with steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
