Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
- 1 medium cabbage
- 2 medium carrots (shredded)
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp. tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ⅔ tsp. salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp. pepper or to taste
- 1 tbsp. hot sauce optional
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Sizzle the Chicken: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and toss in the chicken.
Let it sizzle for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned and looking delicious.
2. Prep the Cabbage: While the chicken is cooking, slice the cabbage into thin strips, just like you would for coleslaw. Get those veggies ready for the pan!
3. Add Some Flavor: Sprinkle in the paprika in your chicken and stir in the tomato paste. Mix it all up and cook for another 5 minutes to let those flavors mingle.
4. Bring in the Cabbage: Add the sliced cabbage to the pan and sauté for 5 more minutes, letting it soften and soak up all the goodness.
5. Mix It Up: Add the shredded carrots, chicken stock, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Stir everything together and let it cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 40 minutes or until all the liquid has evaporated.
6. Spice It Up & Serve: If you like a little heat, stir in a tablespoon of hot sauce. Finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for some color and extra flavor.
For a meal that doesn’t skip on comfort, this turned out incredible. I am confident that this is a dish that will become your favorite in no time because it’s so easy to make.
