Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
4 cups cabbage
3 cloves garlic
1 small onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop the cabbage into medium strips. Mince the garlic and slice the onion.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked through, then remove from the pan.
3. In the same skillet, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant and slightly softened.
4. Add the cabbage and cook until slightly tender but still crisp.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet. Add soy sauce, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and cook for a few more minutes.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Cook the chicken in a single layer to get a nice golden sear instead of steaming it.
Avoid overcooking the cabbage to keep a slight crunch and better texture.
Add a splash of sesame oil or lemon juice at the end for extra flavor depth.
