Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 medium head of cabbage shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar optional
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts (or thighs) with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Cabbage: In the same skillet, add the shredded cabbage and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and brown slightly.
  4. Add Flavor: Stir in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and apple cider vinegar for extra tang. Continue cooking for an additional 3–5 minutes until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Serve: Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the cabbage. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately for a flavorful, healthy meal!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mix for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • You can use other vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers for added color and flavor.
  • If you like it spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • This recipe works great with chicken thighs as they stay juicier, but you can use breasts for a leaner option.
