For the Cabbage
- 8 oz mushroom
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small cabbage or 1/2 large cabbage, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/3 cup tomato sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the cubed chicken breast and sprinkle with paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Add mushrooms to the same pot and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a wooden spoon to scrape off any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pot for extra flavor. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot along with the chopped onions and green bell peppers. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until the onions turn golden brown and fragrant.
- Cook the Cabbage: Add sliced cabbage, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir everything together, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cabbage softens and flavors meld.
- Add Tomato Sauce and Combine: Pour tomato sauce into the pot and return the cooked chicken and mushrooms to the pan. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and blend flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve the Chicken Cabbage hot, immediately enjoying a satisfying and nutritious meal.
