Spicy Chicken & Cabbage Stir Fry
This stir-fry is a quick, bold dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Tender strips of chicken are cooked then tossed with crisp cabbage and spicy chili-garlic sauce that brings just the right amount of heat. With just five ingredients, it’s proof that simple can still mean flavorful.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado, divided
- 1¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 5 scallions, green parts cut into 1-inch pieces and whites thinly sliced
- 8 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
- 2 cups hot cooked brown rice
Directions
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large flat-bottomed wok or skillet over high heat. Add sliced chicken and ¼ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet along with the scallion pieces and slices, 8 cups cabbage and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Cook and toss until the vegetables are just tender, about 3 minutes, then add the chicken back to the pan along with 2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce; toss to combine. Divide 2 cups rice among 4 plates and top with the stir-fry mixture.
