Ingredients
- For the Stir-Fry Base:
- 1 lb 450g boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced — lean protein, low in SmartPoints.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil — adds flavor depth; swap for cooking spray to save 1 SmartPoint.
- 3 cups shredded green cabbage — zero-point veggie that adds bulk and crunch.
- 1 cup shredded carrots — a touch of natural sweetness and color.
- 1 small onion sliced thinly — for aroma and depth.
- 1 red bell pepper sliced — for color, crunch, and Vitamin C boost.
- 2 cloves garlic minced — classic aromatic for stir-fry flavor.
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated — anti-inflammatory and fresh taste.
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce — umami kick with minimal points.
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce optional — for richer flavor; adds +1 SmartPoint if used.
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar — brightens up the dish.
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water — thickens the sauce slightly.
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes — optional heat.
- Salt & black pepper to taste — adjust carefully since soy sauce already adds saltiness.
