Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil
  • 1 small onion, sliced

  2. Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add sliced chicken and stir-fry until browned and fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Add garlic and onion, stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

  6. Add shredded cabbage or bok choy and stir-fry until slightly wilted.

Notes

Use shrimp, beef, or tofu instead of chicken for a different protein option.For a spicy kick, add chili paste or crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.Make it low-sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce and broth.Prep sauce and veggies ahead to save time on busy nights.Don’t overcook the veggies—stir-fry quickly for a crisp texture.
