Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound chicken breast diced
  • 2 cups cabbage chopped
  • 1 bell pepper sliced (any color)
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce optional
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water optional, for thickening

Method
 

  1. 1. Prepare the Ingredients
  2. Slice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the cabbage, bell pepper, and carrot. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
2. Cook the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet or wok, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables
  1. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped cabbage, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
4. Combine Chicken and Sauce
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until everything is well coated with the sauce.
5. Optional Thickening
  1. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch mixed with water to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens.
6. Serve
  1. Serve the stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
