This stir-fry, featuring boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cabbage, and carrots, comes together in less than 30 minutes as an effortless weeknight dinner. It would be excellent with savoy cabbage or even Swiss chard in place of the Napa cabbage, and any kind of root vegetable can be used instead of carrots. Plus, the combination of sour cream and Dijon mustard with just a hint of sherry is a deliciously easy sauce that can work for any protein.
