Description
A healthy and delicious skillet dish combining tender chicken and crunchy cabbage with savory spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 4 cups cabbage, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Optional: sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the onion: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Brown the chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced chicken. Season with salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cabbage: Stir in the shredded cabbage and garlic, mixing well. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, letting the cabbage soften and wilt.
- Finishing touches: Once the cabbage is tender but still has a bit of bite, give it a final seasoning if needed. Garnish with green onions if desired.
Notes
Take your time browning the chicken; the caramelization adds complexity to the flavor. Use fresh garlic for a superior taste.
