Ingredients:
- 3 chicken breast halves
- 1 teaspoon oil (such as olive oil or avocado oil)
- 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1/2 cup diced red bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour (or a low-carb flour substitute)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup water
- Soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) to taste
Optional: Sliced onions and additional red peppers to taste
Directions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into strips.
2. Stir Fry the Chicken:
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips and stir-fry, turning constantly, until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the shredded cabbage and diced red bell peppers. Sauté for about 2 minutes or until the cabbage is crisp-tender. If desired, add sliced onions and extra red peppers and sauté until tender.
4. Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut flour, ground ginger, garlic powder, water, and soy sauce (or tamari) until you have a smooth sauce.
5. Combine and Thicken:
Stir the sauce into the chicken, cabbage, and pepper mixture in the skillet.
Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, approximately 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your Chicken Cabbage Stir Fry hot and enjoy the irresistible flavors and textures.
