Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breasts (cut in 1″ in pieces)
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 1 red pepper (diced)
  • 1 head napa cabbage (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons ginger (grated)
  • 3 cloves garlic (grated)
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic paste (optional)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 scallions (diced)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Sauté chicken breast until browned, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, sauté onion and red pepper for 2-3 minutes or until they begin to soften. Add sliced cabbage to pan and continue sautéing for 8-10 minutes until cabbage is softened.
  3. Meanwhile in a small bowl, whisk together ginger, garlic, chili garlic pasta, soy sauce, vinegar, chicken broth, and sesame oil.
  4. Add sauce to vegetable mixture and throw the chicken back in as well. Cook for about 3 minutes more, to warm chicken through, and sprinkle with diced scallions. Serve with rice.

Notes

  • This recipe is super versatile – some weeks I use chicken, others I use shrimp and it’s also great with pork. You can also swap out cabbage for green beans or zucchini or even asparagus!
