👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken & veggies – Slice everything thin so it cooks quickly.

  2. Cook the chicken – Heat a large skillet or wok with cooking spray (or oil), add chicken slices, season lightly, and stir-fry until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. Cook the veggies – Add onion, bell pepper, cabbage, and garlic. Stir-fry until slightly tender but still crisp.

  4. Combine & season – Return chicken to the pan, drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, toss well.

  5. Serve hot – with cauliflower rice, jasmine rice, or on its own for a low-carb option.

🥡 Storage & Serving Suggestions

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

  • Reheat in a skillet for best texture (microwave works too).

  • Serve with cauliflower rice (0 points), brown rice, or even wrapped in lettuce leaves for a fun twist.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Make it spicy – Add chili flakes, sriracha, or fresh chili.

  • Add more veggies – Broccoli, snap peas, zucchini, or mushrooms all work great.
