Chicken Cabbage Stir Fry Recipe
Description
The Chicken Cabbage Stir Fry Recipe involves cooking chicken breast strips in neutral oil until cooked through, then tossing them in a mixture of mayonnaise and coco aminos that adds a creamy and savory glaze. The accompanying stir-fry combines cabbage, red bell pepper, and broccoli cooked briefly to maintain some crispness and freshness.
The vegetables are seasoned with coco aminos, which provide a subtle umami flavor and can be substituted with soy sauce if preferred, though care should be taken with salt additions when doing so. The method is straightforward, resulting in a balanced dish with tender, flavorful chicken and lightly cooked, colorful vegetables.
This stir fry can be served as a main course for a modest number of servings and offers a satisfying combination of textures and tastes without complex preparation techniques.
Ingredients
The Chicken
- 4 medium chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- ½ teaspoon salt see notes
- ½ teaspoon black pepper see notes
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise can sub soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons coco aminos can sub soy sauce
The Cabbage Stir Fry
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 3 cups cabbage
- 1 medium red pepper sliced
- 1 small broccoli cut into florets, head
- 2 tablespoons coco aminos can sub soy sauce
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into 4 strips each. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the middle.
- While the chicken is cooking, chop the veggies. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and coco aminos. When the chicken is cooked, add it to the bowl and toss to coat.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan along with the cabbage, red pepper, and broccoli. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the veggies just barely start to soften. Add the coco amino and cook, stirring a few times, for another 3 minutes.
- Divide the cabbage stir fry between 4 plates and top with the chicken. Drizzle any sauce left in the bowl over the cabbage.
Notes
- Skip adding salt if using soy sauce instead of coco aminos to avoid oversalting.
