Low-Fat One-Pot Chicken
Vegetable Stir-Fry

A healthy, vibrant one-pot stir-fry combining tender chicken breast, juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp apple pieces, and napa cabbage in a savory sauce.

Ingredients

• 400 g chicken breast
• 1 apple
• 1 cup small cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 onion
• 200 g napa cabbage
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp cooking wine
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• to taste sea salt
• to taste black pepper
• to taste garlic herb seasoning
• optional chopped green onions

Instructions

1. 1Slice the apple

   

   Place an apple on a wooden cutting board and carefully slice it into small pieces.

   Tip: Cut the apple uniformly so it cooks evenly with the other ingredients.
2. 2Season the chicken breast

   

   Arrange 400 grams of chicken breast pieces on a white plate. Pour 1 spoonful of cooking wine and 2 spoonfuls of light soy sauce over the chicken.

   Tip: Ensure the soy sauce is distributed evenly across the pieces for a consistent base flavor.
3. 3Mix and marinate the chicken

   

   Use chopsticks to thoroughly mix the seasonings into the chicken breast pieces, making sure every piece is coated, then let it marinate.

   Tip: Letting the chicken sit for a few minutes after mixing helps the seasonings absorb deeply.
4. 4Halve the small tomatoes

   

   Place small red tomatoes on a wooden cutting board and cut each one in half using a knife.

   Tip: Halving the tomatoes allows their juices to release more easily during stir-frying.
5. 5Heat oil in the pan

   

   Heat a little olive oil in a pan over the stove to prepare for cooking the marinated chicken breast.

   Tip: Ensure the oil coats the bottom of the pan evenly to prevent sticking.
6. 6Stir-fry the chicken breast

   

   Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan, add the marinated chicken breast pieces, and stir-fry continuously until their color changes completely. Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside for later.

   Tip: Make sure the pan is properly heated before adding the chicken to lock in the juices.
7. 7Sauté the garlic

   

   Heat a little oil in the pan and add the sliced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until golden and aromatic.

   Tip: Keep the heat moderate so the garlic infuses the oil without burning.
8. 8Sauté onions, tomatoes, and apples

   

   Add sliced onions, halved small tomatoes, and apple pieces into the pan. Stir-fry them evenly together with the remaining oil and aromatics until they begin to soften.

   Tip: Stir frequently to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
9. 9Season the vegetable mixture

   

   Season the vegetable and fruit mixture in the pan with an appropriate amount of sea salt, black pepper, and garlic herb seasoning. Stir everything together thoroughly so the flavors distribute evenly.

   Tip: Adjust the seasoning according to your personal taste preferences.
10. 10Add napa cabbage

    

    Add the shredded napa cabbage into the pan with the other ingredients. Continue to stir-fry everything evenly until the cabbage starts to wilt down.

    Tip: The cabbage will shrink down as it cooks, so mix it in well with the juices.
11. 11Combine chicken and simmer

    

    Return the previously cooked chicken pieces back into the pan with the vegetables. Simmer everything together on low heat for one minute so the chicken fully absorbs the rich flavors, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and turn off the heat.

    Tip: Keep the heat low during the final minute to prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
12. 12Garnish with green onions

    

    Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions evenly over the cooked dish. Turn off the heat and let the residual warmth release their aroma before serving.

    Tip: Add green onions at the very last second to keep their bright color and fresh flavor.
