Ingredients
-
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
-
1 small Chinese cabbage, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons cooking oil (divided)
-
3 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
-
1 teaspoon sesame oil
-
A pinch of salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
-
Sear the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the boneless chicken breast pieces, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
-
Sauté the Cabbage: In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Toss in the chopped Chinese cabbage and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until it begins to wilt and soften.
-
Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the cabbage, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Combine and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, tossing everything together well so the sauce coats the ingredients evenly. Let it simmer for 2 minutes until hot, then serve immediately!
