Ingredients
This list of ingredients contains everything you need to make an amazingly delicious meal. The first thing that stands out is the chicken thighs, which are a favorite for many because of their flavorful and juicy taste. For this recipe, make sure to get bone-in and skin-on varieties, as they will be even more tender when cooked. Then we have a crunchy green cabbage that has been shredded, a large onion which has been sliced, plus some olive oil and spices to complete the meal. The sea salt and ground black pepper are essential in order adding richness in flavor while enhancing each ingredient’s unique qualities.
A traditional way to cook this dish is by searing the chicken before adding in all other ingredients. Once the chicken has enough color on both sides, add in the onion and sauté until it softens. Followed by the shredded cabbage then cook for about 5 minutes with some stirring here and there until cabbage begins wilting down. Now pour the olive oil over the mixture then season it with salt and pepper to your liking; let everything cook together until fully done before serving warm over some freshly cooked rice or quinoa! Bon Appétit!
Directions
Cooking can be both rewarding and intimidating for people of all ages. For the working woman or man, a delicious and healthy meal may seem like an insurmountable goal when faced with a busy schedule. That’s why I am so passionate about making delicious recipes that are not only easy to make but also approachable. My favorite form of recipes is the ‘one-skillet’ dish, because it has less clean up and seems less intimidating for novice cooks. An example of this is my one skillet roasted lemon chicken and cabbage dish. It is full of flavor, easy to make and requires minimal cooking knowledge!
Making dish like this with simple ingredients helps encourage working people in their day-to-day lives to pursue healthier cooking options as an alternative to fast food. By providing accessible recipes, I hope to empower others by giving them the confidence they need to make their own meals in an organized fashion. The most important thing when creating something like this is ensuring that instructions are clear enough for even the most inexperienced cooks at home!
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in the oil or butter. Once heated, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add them to the hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the cooked chicken onto a plate and set aside for later use.
3. Add the onion to the same skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Then stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for another 5 minutes or until it begins to soften.
4. Add the cooked chicken back into the pan and pour over the olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste then give everything a good mix. Place in preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Remove from the oven and serve warm with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
Steps
Cooking chicken thighs can be a delicious and easy way to enjoy a great meal. The first step is preheating your oven to 375°F. Next, you’ll need to prepare the chicken thighs. I recommend buying bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, but you can keep the skin on if desired. After removing any excess fat and adding seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herb de Provence or dried thyme on both sides of the chicken thigh, it’s time for the next step.
For the third step, browning the chicken thighs in an oven-safe skillet with two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side will allow it to develop flavor and texture before baking in the oven. Once that’s complete, transfer your skillet into the oven and proceed with your recipe instructions until fully cooked through. Enjoy!
