For the stir fry:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

For the stir fry sauce:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Toss the sliced chicken with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- Prepare the stir fry sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the stir fry sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry for 4–5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Stir fry the vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Stir fry the cabbage and bell pepper for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine everything: Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the stir fry sauce and chicken broth, and toss everything to coat. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
- Serve: Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
- Serve over rice or noodles for a heartier meal.
- Add sliced mushrooms or carrots for extra vegetables.
- For a low-carb option, skip the rice and serve on its own.
