- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 2 cups cabbage, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions
- Marinate diced chicken with soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper for 10–15 minutes.
- While marinating, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), black pepper, salt, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and cornstarch slurry in a bowl.
- In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, melt butter and cook the marinated chicken until golden brown.
- Remove the chicken and sauté onions and garlic in the same skillet until fragrant.
- Add cabbage, bell pepper, and carrot; stir-fry until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce; cook until heated through and slightly thickened.
Notes
Marinate chicken longer for deeper flavor. Stir-fry on high heat for the best texture. Cut vegetables evenly for uniform cooking.
