Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 1 minute until shimmering.
  2. Add 1 pound of cubed chicken breast to the skillet, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through.
  3. Introduce 1 cup of chopped red onion, ½ cup of chopped green bell pepper, and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Sauté for another minute to allow spices to bloom.
  5. Layer in 1 small sliced cabbage, stirring gently to incorporate. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt.
  6. Pour in ⅓ cup of tomato sauce and ¼ cup of chicken broth, mixing everything thoroughly. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the sauce thickens.
  8. Uncover, give everything a stir, and taste. Adjust seasoning as necessary before serving.
