Ingredients

1.75 pound chicken breast (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1.5 tablespoon olive oil
2 yellow onions (medium, sliced thin)
6 clove garlic (minced)
2 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
1.5 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
0.75 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1.5 teaspoon salt
0.75 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
1 head green cabbage (shredded)
2 carrots (large, thinly sliced)
0.25 cup water (for steaming)

Instructions

Pat chicken breast pieces dry. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and mostly cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate.
Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced yellow onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger to the skillet, cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in paprika, ground coriander, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring.
Return chicken to the skillet, toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until chicken is fully cooked through.
While chicken cooks, place shredded green cabbage and thinly sliced carrots in a large pot with 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then cover and steam for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Serve the Doro Tibs alongside the steamed cabbage and carrots.

Notes

Cutting the chicken into smaller, uniform pieces helps it cook very quickly and evenly. Do not overcook the chicken or it will become dry.
