Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Pat chicken pieces dry and season with half of the salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- 2Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the same skillet. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3Add quartered potatoes and sliced cabbage to the skillet. Season with remaining salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage begins to wilt and potatoes start to soften slightly.
- 4Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through.
- 5Remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high for 2-3 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate, if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes, red potatoes or even russet potatoes (peeled and diced) would work, though cooking times might vary slightly. Yukon Golds are recommended for their creamy texture.
How can I prevent the cabbage from becoming too mushy?
Ensure you don't overcook it. The goal is for the cabbage to be tender-crisp. You can also add the cabbage a bit later in step 3, after the potatoes have had a few minutes to cook, if you prefer a firmer texture.
Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
Yes, if using pre-cooked chicken (like rotisserie chicken), add it during step 4 along with the broth, simply to heat it through. You won't need to brown it separately.
