Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

03

Add the chicken pieces to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

Add the minced garlic, shredded cabbage, and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

05

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats everything.

Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute chicken breast for thighs, though cooking time may vary slightly. Broccoli florets or bell peppers can be used in place of or in addition to cabbage and carrots. For a vegetarian option, use firm tofu instead of chicken.
