Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil (or oil of choice)
2 tablespoon sesame oil
1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
4 cups cabbage, half purple & half green
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
½ bell pepper, deseeded and chopped (I used an orange pepper)
2-3 tablespoon soy sauce
½ cup cashews or peanuts
1 tablespoon water
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

In large skillet, heat oils over low to medium temperature.
Add chicken to the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes uncovered, turning when browned on one side.
Toss in pepper and garlic and cook another 5-10 minutes or until pepper softens.
Add cabbage to the pan along with soy sauce and water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Uncover and add nuts and sesame seeds. Cook another 5-10 minutes, stiring often. Don't over cook, as cabbage will turn limp instead of being crunchy tender.
Serve right away over rice.

For Leftover Cooked Chicken or Turkey

If using leftover chicken or turkey, start with the oil in the pan and add the garlic and bell pepper first. Add the cooked chicken or turkey when adding the cabbage. The meat just needs to heat and brown a bit, so it doesn't need to cook as long.
