Healthy meal idea | Red Cabbage and Chicken Stir-fry

Hi everyone!

I've always been facinated by the idea of red cabbage as opposed to the normal (boring) yellow one, so everytime I need to buy cabbage, I definitely get the red one :)


So this is a stir fry that I've been having mainly for quick lunches because, to be honest, I don't think any one wants to fuss over cooking complicated meals for lunch so here's how I do it..

shredded red cabbage
chicken breast
spring onions
diced red pepper
diced garlic cloves
stir fry sauce (I used a Garlic and Spice Stir Fry sauce but im sure any other will be great)
sliced button mushroom
salt and freshly ground black pepper
olive oil



I havent included amounts because this all depends on how much of each ingredient you want to have in your food.

Method:

Boil your chicken breasts in lightly salted water until they're almost cooked through. Take them out and shred and leave to cool. In a non-stick pan or wok, heat up some olive oil and add the onions, red pepper, garlic and saute for about a minute. Then add the chicken and mushroom and fry everything for about 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and stir that in making sure that everything is combined and nothing is stuck at the botoom of the pan. Add the stir fry sauce and keep everything moving for about 5 minutes or until the cabbage is slightly tender but not over cooked and soggy.

Then enjoy a delicious, healthy meal. Can be served as a side dish to anything else on those days that you have people over and need to serve something fancy looking at dinner :)
