My cookbook is here! 
An incredibly simple, healthy and delicious way to serve your chicken and veggies.
If you love easy delicious meals that come together in one pan – you are currently in the right spot. My entire family loved this dish and I loved making it. It’s gluten free and has the protein and veggies come together in one pan for easy clean up.
If you don’t have green cabbage, you can use red/purple cabbage but the end result of color will change. You can also use chicken breasts instead of thighs if that’s what you have.
Thank you for supporting Hungry Happens! I hope you enjoy making this dish as much as I loved creating it! If you could take the time to comment and rate the recipe, we would greatly appreciate it! LOVE YOUR LIFE!

Great dish, it’s a keeper!
I’d say it makes way more than 4 servings!
This is an AMAZING dish! I wish I could post my pictures! I’d give it 10 stars if I could! Definitely will make again! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I’m confused about the seasonings. The first instruction says to season the chicken with salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Then the last instruction says to add broth abd seasonings (which must be same 3 things plus paprika). In Comments you say you use 1/2-1 tsp of each seasoning, but 1 1/2 tsp salt per pound of chicken.
Are you splitting 1 tsp of each seasoning between the first and last instructions? Doing the whole amount twice? Can you clarify how much of what to add when asap please?!
Thank you.
This came together easily and the chicken was so tender. The cabbage was also melt-in-your mouth. Even with all that garlic, I think it could have stood some more aggressive spices. I might try adding curry or a toasted sesame oil next time. But a great base to start with!
Easy and delicious! Also I think one could add a variety of vegetables so that is fabulous. Thank you.
yum! Used purple cabbage and grated some parmesan for serving!
It was great! Thanks so much Stella!
I followed the directions – but found this lacking flavor. It was just chicken and cabbage. Did not have any great ‘sauce’ or flavor . There was so much juice and no way could it all evaporate. Disappointed ☹️
wow fabulous combination of flavors. I love it.
Hi, can I use a bag of coleslaw mix in this recipe. I don’t have a cabbage head to shred. Thank you and I love your recipes very much.
This dish is delicious , easy and nutritious! I added some chicken apple sausage as well since I love the combo with cabbage. From start to finish, dinner was ready in less than 1/2 hour. Definitely a keeper! Thank you!!
My family loved this dish!
Love that!
Tried it, it’s simply delicious!
Yay! THank you Doreen!
very bland. can’t figure out what it needs. I tried a splash of hot sauce.
This is a great recipe! change out the spices for Chinese five spice and a little sesame oil. first class.
Made this for dinner and enjoyed it very much. Thank you!!
Hi Anju, thats awesome! Thanks for the kind rating too!
