Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium green cabbage cored & chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step 1: Sauté the Chicken
  1. Start by adding olive oil and seasoned chicken pieces to your skillet. Over medium-high heat, sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken is fully cooked. Set the cooked chicken aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 2: Cook the Onions
  1. Melt butter in the same skillet and stir in the chopped onions. Sauté for about 3 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
Step 3: Wilt the Cabbage
  1. Add the cabbage to the skillet and cook it uncovered for 10–15 minutes, stirring regularly. You'll notice the cabbage begin to soften and wilt, making it easier to cook evenly.
Step 4: Season with Garlic and Paprika
  1. Stir in the minced garlic and paprika until evenly distributed among the cabbage and onions. The aroma will be irresistible!
Step 5: Reintroduce the Chicken
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring it in to let the flavors meld. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to heat the chicken through thoroughly.
Step 6: Adjust Seasoning & Serve
  1. Give the dish a taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot and enjoy immediately!
