A quick and satisfying skillet meal featuring tender chicken, buttery cabbage, and savory garlic. Simple, flavorful, and perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium head of green cabbage, cored and chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon mild paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until just cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  2. Add butter and chopped onion to the same pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add chopped cabbage. Cook uncovered for 10–15 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender and slightly browned.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, stir, and heat through for a few more minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve immediately while warm and fragrant.

Notes

  • Swap chicken breasts for thighs for more richness.
  • Use smoked or hot paprika for a spicy variation.
  • Make it vegetarian by omitting the chicken
  • Store in fridge for up to 4 days; not freezer-friendly.
