Preparation
  1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Once hot, add the diced chicken breasts, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
  3. Sauté until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute.
  5. Add the shredded cabbage to the pan, tossing everything together.
  6. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cabbage has softened yet remains slightly crunchy.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  8. Remove from heat and serve immediately, showcasing the vibrant colors and textures.

For variation, substitute chicken for turkey or tofu. Shredding the cabbage ahead saves time. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
