Can I use Chicken Leftovers? 

If you’re using cooked chicken leftovers, you need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Instead of slicing the cabbage into thick slices, rather shred them finely, so that they cook faster. If you keep the cabbage size and cooking time the same, the chicken will overcook and become dry.

Recipe Tips

– This recipe is great for using up leftovers. Use chicken leftovers, or any other cooked vegetables. If you want to use other raw veggies, shred them with a grater or a food processor to ensure even cooking.
