Chicken Cabbage Quick Meal (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Protein & Produce
01 -
2 big chicken breasts, diced into small chunks
02 -
1 mid-sized green cabbage (roughly 2 pounds), trimmed and sliced
03 -
1 regular onion, coarsely diced
04 -
2 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
→ Fats & Seasonings
05 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
06 -
1 tablespoon butter
07 -
1 teaspoon paprika
08 -
Sea salt and cracked black pepper, as needed
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your pan hot with the olive oil first. Add the chicken chunks and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown them on medium-high for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally until they're just done but still juicy.
02 -
When chicken turns white throughout, move it to a plate. We'll bring it back to the mix later on.
03 -
Melt the butter in your empty pan and toss in the diced onions. Cook them until they soften and turn fragrant, about 3 minutes.
04 -
Dump all your sliced cabbage into the pan. Let it cook without a lid for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. It'll shrink down gradually as it wilts. You want everything tender with slightly golden onions that smell sweet.
05 -
Mix in your chopped garlic and paprika, letting the heat bring out their flavors.
06 -
Return your chicken to the pan and mix everything for a few minutes to warm through. Taste it and add extra salt and pepper if needed - cabbage really needs enough salt to shine!
# Notes:
01 -
This wallet-friendly meal turns basic ingredients into a homey dinner that's great for hectic evenings.
02 -
Try swapping in smoked or spicy paprika for a different twist - customize it to your liking!
03 -
The exact weight of your cabbage isn't critical - after you cut away the core, a 2-pound head gives just the right amount.
