If you love easy delicious meals that come together in one pan – you are currently in the right spot. My entire family loved this dish and I loved making it. It’s gluten free and has the protein and veggies come together in one pan for easy clean up.

If you don’t have green cabbage, you can use red/purple cabbage but the end result of color will change. You can also use chicken breasts instead of thighs if that’s what you have.

    I rarely write recipe reviews but had to for this. We’re trying to eat a little healthier and I came across this dish. I’m super picky. The rest of the family, not so much. So the cabbage concerned picky ole me! This dish was SO delicious! I truly cannot wait to make it again. Give this one a try, you will not be disappointed.

    Do you think I can cheat and buy a bag of slaw mix ( not with dressing) since it’s hit carrot and cabbage?

      Hi Eileen, absolutely yes! That’s a great idea!

    Delicious! I only started to enjoy cabbage a few years ago as Cole slaw. This is my first time eating a meal with cooked cabbage and I loved it. I also made it with cut chicken breasts and it came out delicious.

    Hi how much seasoning of each of the following:salt, onion powder, garlic powder + paprika?

    • Reply
      • Stella

      Hi Jess, if i had to guess amounts – 1/2-1 tsp of each. I have a rule of thumb – 1 tsp salt per 1 lb of meat

    Quick and easy to make. Absolutely delicious! This meal went down really well with the men in my household, despite their initial scepticism about the lack of carbs – perfectly substantial.
