Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 2 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 head green cabbage (thinly shredded)
- 0.25 cup vegetable broth (salt-free)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 cup brown rice (uncooked)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the brown rice according to package directions, using water or salt-free broth. Set aside when cooked.
- Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add the sliced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the same skillet, cooking for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the minced garlic and shredded green cabbage, continuing to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until cabbage is tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the salt-free vegetable broth and white vinegar. Bring to a quick simmer, tossing to combine. Season with black pepper.
- Serve the chicken and cabbage sauté hot over portions of cooked brown rice. Divide into two portions for the week.
Notes
For best texture when reheating, store the sautéed chicken and cabbage separately from the brown rice if possible. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
