A delightful and easy-to-make chicken and cabbage stir-fry, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to achieve a good sear.
Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink.
Cut the chicken into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to allow the mushrooms to brown properly.
Add the cabbage and stir-fry until it begins to soften.
Stir frequently to ensure even cooking of the cabbage.
Pour in the soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Let the dish rest for a minute before serving to enhance the flavors.
Serve hot and enjoy your savory chicken and cabbage stir.
