Low-Carb Cabbage Chicken Breast Frittata Sandwich

A nutritious, low-carb, high-protein breakfast featuring tender chicken breast strips, finely shredded cabbage, and soft-cooked eggs in a savory frittata sandwich.

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• 1/2 head green cabbage
• 4 eggs
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• to taste barbecue seasoning
• optional sliced bread
• optional lemon and lime drink

Instructions

1. 1Cut the chicken breast

   

   Place the chicken breast on a wooden cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into thin, uniform strips.

   Tip: Cutting against the grain makes the chicken strips more tender.
2. 2Season the chicken strips

   

   Transfer the chicken breast strips to a white plate and add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch.

   Tip: Adding cornstarch helps lock in the moisture so the chicken stays juicy during cooking.
3. 3Mix the marinade

   

   Put on food-safe gloves and thoroughly massage the seasonings and cornstarch into the chicken breast strips until evenly coated.

   Tip: Ensure every strip is well-coated for balanced flavor absorption.
4. 4Shred the cabbage

   

   Place a fresh head of green cabbage on the wooden cutting board and slice it into thin shreds using a knife.

   Tip: Cut the cabbage as finely as possible so it cooks evenly and softens quickly.
5. 5Pan-fry the chicken

   

   Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat, then tip the marinated chicken breast strips into the pan.

   Tip: Ensure the pan is properly heated before adding the chicken to prevent sticking.
6. 6Remove cooked chicken

   

   Once the chicken breast strips are fully cooked and browned, use a pair of tongs to lift them out of the pan and set them aside.

   Tip: Do not overcook the chicken to keep it from turning tough and dry.
7. 7Stir-fry the cabbage

   

   Place the thinly shredded cabbage into the pan with a little heated oil and stir-fry over high heat until it becomes slightly softened.

   Tip: Stir-fry over high heat quickly so the cabbage softens without releasing too much water.
8. 8Combine chicken and cabbage

   

   Add the previously cooked chicken breast strips back into the stir-fried cabbage, mixing them together and dividing the mixture into two small portions in the pan.

   Tip: Separate the mixture into distinct portions so you can crack the eggs directly onto each one.
9. 9Add eggs to the portions

   

   Crack two raw eggs directly onto the center of each cabbage and chicken portion, then cover the pan and let it simmer until the eggs reach your preferred doneness.

   Tip: Cover the pan with a lid to trap the steam, which helps cook the egg whites evenly.
10. 10Season the frittata sandwich

    

    Sprinkle barbecue seasoning evenly over the cooked cabbage, chicken, and egg frittata portions in the pan before assembling.

    Tip: Add the seasoning just before serving to maximize the savory flavor.
