Sauteed Garlic Cabbage Chicken (Printable Recipe)

Smoky garlic cabbage paired with juicy chicken for a flavorful one-pan meal.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 small head cabbage, shredded
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
09 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Let rest while the skillet heats.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken breasts and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and tent with foil.
03 - In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant and lightly golden.
04 - Add shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat with oil and garlic. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp.
05 - Drizzle soy sauce over the cabbage. Stir to deglaze the pan and distribute flavor. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
06 - Slice rested chicken against the grain. Serve over sautéed cabbage and garnish with chopped parsley.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Let chicken come to room temperature before cooking for even results.
02 - Pre-shredded cabbage saves prep time and ensures consistent texture.
03 - Use a wide skillet to allow even browning and avoid crowding the pan.
