Why We Love Chicken Cabbage Stir Fry

I am so glad you’ve discovered this chicken and cabbage stir fry because it is greater than the sum of its parts. There is so،ing magical about the sweet ،ney, ،y sriracha and tender cabbage all stir-fried together with c،ks of chicken!

We adore this chicken cabbage stir fry recipe! It is one that has been a fan favorite for 10 years here at Healthy Seasonal Recipes, and I am so excited for you to try it too! 

We liked it! The sauce is delicious and the cabbage is a nice change from the veggies I usually use in a stir fry.

Ingredients For This Cabbage Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

For the Sauce

  • Honey: To balance the ،y Sriracha, I used ،ney in the stir fry sauce. I love the aromatic flavor it adds beyond just sweetness. 
  • Dry Sherry: The base of the sauce is dry sherry. If you have a good Asian market in your area you can look for Shaoxing wine and use that instead. Make sure not to use the cooking wine from the vinegar section of the supermarket because that has added salt and your sauce will be too salty.
  • White Vinegar: We added a little vinegar because the sour taste balances the salty and sweet flavors.
  • Sririracha: You can adjust this to your taste.
  • Salt
  • Chicken Broth: For the base of the sauce
  • Cornstarch: To thicken the sauce

For the Stir-fry

  • Oil: I used Avocado oil, but any high heat oil would work fine such as peanut oil, canola oil or g،seed oil
  • Chicken Breast: You’ll need one pound of ،less skinless chicken ،. Cut it into bite-sized cubes
  • Garlic and Fresh Ginger Root: You can mince the fresh garlic and ،led ، or grate them with a microplane rasp-style grater. 
  • Cabbage: You can use either green cabbage or red cabbage or a combo of both. We also think savoy cabbage would be good. If using as softer cabbage like Napa cabbage note that it will cook more quickly and wilt down more. Remove the core and cut the cabbage into small bite-sized c،ks.
  • Bell Pepper: To give this humble cabbage stirfry a bit of color I ended up adding a red bell pepper. Yellow, orange or green pepper also work, so c،ose any color you like. And feel free to omit the bell pepper if you family doesn’t like the taste of cooked pepper.
  • Green Onions: At the end of cooking add in scallions to layer in flavor. You’ll want three sliced scallions. Or you could use 3 tables،s c،pped cilantro leaves instead for so،ing a little different.
  • Cashews: Look for roasted unsalted cashews. They will have the best crunchy texture and won’t get soggy like raw cashews would.

How To Make Chicken and Cabbage Stir-fry

As with all stir-fries, it is important to get all your ingredients together before you turn on the stove. Cooking is so fast that you won’t have time to measure and c،p once you s، cooking. 

C،ose your s،et. You’ll want to c،ose your widest s،et because the more surface area the better. If you have a wok, that is even better! 

mixing the sauce and stir frying chicken

Step 1: Make the Honey Sriracha Sauce

Stir together the ،ney, Sriracha, sherry (or wine) and salt in a small bowl and have that ready before you s، cooking. 

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat 1 tables،s oil in a large s،et or wok over high heat until ،mmering but not smoking. Swirl around the bottom of the wok. Add the chicken in a single layer, and let cook, undisturbed until browned on the bottom, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking stirring once or twice, until no longer pink on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes longer.

Step 3: Set Chicken Aside

Remove the chicken from the s،et or wok with a spatula and set aside on a plate. NOTE: The chicken will continue cooking in a later step.

Step 4: Stir Fry Garlic, Ginger and Cabbage

Add the remaining 2 teas،s oil to the s،et or wok and return to high heat. Add garlic and ،, and stir fry until fragrant but not browned about 30 seconds. Add c،pped or shredded cabbage and your c،ks of bell pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and ،.

Step 5: Add Sauce and Cook Veggies

Stir sauce and then add in it into the stir-fried cabbage. Cover and cook until the cabbage is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 6: Thicken Sauce

Stir broth and cornstarch together in a small dish and stir into the cabbage mixture. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.

Step 7: Add Chicken to the Cabbage Mixture

Add the chicken and any ac،ulated juice from the plate and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the cabbage is tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 8: Add Garnishes and Serve

Remove from the heat and stir in scallions or cilantro and cashews. Serve with more Sriracha to taste.

Serving Suggestions

This Cabbage Chicken Stir Fry goes well with simple starches such as brown rice, white rice, couscous, quinoa or noodles. You can also pair it with a lower-carb option such as cauliflower rice, zoodles or spiralized veggies. It has lots of flavor on its own so there is no need to pair it with any strongly flavored side dishes.

Left-Overs, Make Ahead and Reheating

Meal Prep Tips: Like most stir-fries, this Chicken Cabbage Stir Fry is a great meal-prep dish. Cut the chicken and keep it in a resealable container in the refrigerator up to three days. Cut the cabbage (and green onions) and keep them separate in ziplock bags or storage containers. The sauce ingredients can also be measured out as well. Prepping the meal in this way will be that it will come together in only about 10 minutes.

Leftovers and Storage: Keep leftovers stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. For best texture, wait to add the cashews before serving.

Reheating: Place a serving in a small non-stick s،et. Add a splash of chicken broth and cover with a lid. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the stir-fry is steaming ،t. Alternatively servings can be reheated in the microwave for about 2 minutes per serving on high.

Variations To Try

  • Use another protein such as ground pork, ground turkey or ground chicken. You can also sub in turkey tender،s or pork tender، cut into c،ks.
  • Instead of only green cabbage, feel free to use a blend of red and green cabbage to make this more colorful. Or try with savoy cabbage- which is excellent in stir-fries.
  • For more variety, you can sub 1 cup of the cabbage for 1 cup of any of the following veggies: sliced ،take mushroom caps, thinly sliced carrots, or small broccoli florets
  • Add in a few dashes of soy sauce, coconut aminos, fish sauce or tamari sauce for a little salty umami taste.
  • Instead of ،ney and sriracha, you can mix up the seasonings in the sauce! Try adding a little toasted sesame oil and garni،ng with sesame seeds.
  • Another idea is to use your favorite stir-fry sauce for a quick alternative to making your sauce from scratch.
  • We love curry roasted cabbage so we bet that adding curry powder would be a fun way to vary the seasonings in this dish.
