2 dash black pepper
0.20g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g
1 tsp dried oregano
1g
1 tbsp vinegar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice:

- Chop the yellow or green peppers.
4. Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil (optional, for sautéing).
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are no longer pink inside, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
5. Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften.
6. Combine and Season:

- Add the tomato paste, water, mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in the vinegar and mix everything thoroughly.

7. Serve:
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, spoon the mixture over the cooked rice.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Chicken Cabbage Skillet!

Tips:

- Cut the chicken breasts into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.

- If you prefer a bit more spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet.

- For a richer flavor, you can use chicken broth instead of water.

- Pre-cook the white rice for a quicker meal preparation time.

- Feel free to use any color of bell peppers based on your taste preference.

- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end of cooking to brighten the flavors.

- Use a large enough skillet to avoid overcrowding the ingredients, which ensures even cooking.
