π©βπ³ Method
1. Prep the Chicken
Use a meat tenderiser to flatten the chicken breast. This ensures even cooking and makes it more tender.
Lightly spray a non-stick pan with cooking oil and place the chicken on medium heat.
2. Add Flavour
Chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and green chilli.
Add them to the pan with the chicken, turning occasionally.
Cook for 5β10 minutes until the chicken is browned on both sides and cooked through (no pink inside or juices).
3. Prepare the Cabbage
Shred the cabbage into fine strips using a knife or food processor.
Toss in a bowl with 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp sesame seeds, and a dash of sea salt and black pepper.
4. Combine & Serve
Once the chicken is cooked, slice it thinly and serve on top of the cabbage salad.
Optional: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon for extra zest.
