Ingredients

1.5 lbs chicken breast or thighs
1 tbsp avocado oil
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
3 carrots, grated
1 tbsp turmeric
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
6 green onions, chopped
3 cups spinach or kale
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup white rice, (optional – omit for Whole30 or Keto)

Instructions

Start by cutting up chicken into small pieces. In a large skillet over medium heat add oil. Once hot, add chicken and cook until chicken is starting to brown, about 6-8 minutes.
While chicken is cooking use food processor to chop cabbage and grate carrots. Or hand chop and grate.
Once the chicken is about cooked, add about half the cabbage to pan and once it starts to cook down, add the rest. Allow cabbage to cook down and soften.
Add turmeric, garlic powder and sea salt. Mix to evenly combine and add the carrots, green onions and spinach or kale. Stir until everything is mixed and turn heat down to low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve over optional white rice with chopped cilantro on top. Enjoy!
