Description

A comforting slow-cooked chicken dish with cabbage simmered in butter, perfect for cozy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
  • 1 medium Green cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 Sweet onion, chopped
  • 3 Fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Herbs (Thyme or rosemary), to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs and season them well with salt and pepper.
  2. Sauté the onion: In a pan, melt a tablespoon of butter and sauté the onions until they’re fragrant and translucent.
  3. Layer in the slow cooker: Start with the cabbage at the bottom, then add the sautéed onions, garlic, and chicken on top.
  4. Add butter and broth: Dot the chicken with a few more tablespoons of butter, then pour in the chicken broth.
  5. Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on low for 360-480 minutes, or until the chicken is falling off the bone.
  6. Final touches: Adjust seasoning if needed, and sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Serve with light sides like salad or bread. Leftovers are great too and can be frozen.
