    Chicken and Cabbage is truly a winning combo! Flavorful, delicious, and easy to make, this dish is so good, you'll be making it over and over again. Oh, and did I mention that it is made with just a few simple ingredients and in one skillet? Minimal effort and maximum flavor. Isn't that what we all want?

    Let's talk about the main ingredients first.

    CABBAGE

    You'll want to buy a medium (about 2 ½ – 3 lbs.) head of cabbage. When shopping for the cabbage, look for ones that are shiny and bright, with a beautiful green color. If you'd like to save time, you can just buy a 2 lb.-package of shredded cabbage. They are sold in most grocery stores, in the produce section. You can purchase the package that includes shredded carrots, too.

    CHICKEN

    I almost exclusively use chicken thighs in this recipe. I buy boneless thighs and just cut them into bite-sized pieces. That said, chicken breasts works great, too. The meat will be a bit drier, but if you prefer chicken breasts, don't hesitate to use them.

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes.

    2. Add the paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for just 1 minute. Deglaze the skillet with about ½ cup of water.

    3. Add the tomato paste, stir, and add the cabbage. Sauté the cabbage for another 5 minutes and reduce the heat to medium-low.

    4. Add the Half & Half and cover the pan with a lid, cooking for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, until the cabbage cooks through. (Depending on the cabbage variety, it may take a bit longer to cook. If you don't have any liquid remaining in the skillet, just add some water and cook until the cabbage is soft).

    5. Taste and adjust the salt to your liking. Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley.

    WHAT TO SERVE CREAMY CHICKEN AND CABBAGE WITH?

    Serve this delicious meal with some rice, mashed potatoes, or fresh salad on the side. You may also serve this meal as is, with a slice of fresh bread.
