What kind of chicken to use in cabbage with chicken recipe?

I used boneless skinless chicken thighs (I get them from Costco) in thisLow-Carb Cabbage With Chicken Recipe. They are not as easy to overcook as chicken breast meat, but also bring some amazing flavor to the cabbage. And cabbage needs a little bit of a flavor kick in my opinion. Of course bone-in chicken thighs, chicken legs or chicken breast could be used.

Just keep in mind that if you use chicken breast, you need to cook it for a shorter time and bone-in thighs and chicken legs will require longer time to cook.

How to make this cabbage with chicken in one pot?

You basically first cook the seasoned chicken pieces until seared and golden, but not cooked through, then transfer them to a plate. Add the cabbage, (with carrots and seasoning) and sautee it until tender. Add the meat at the end and let it cook for another 5 minutes or until fully cooked. You do the same thing with bone-in meat, but the cooking time will increase with 5-10 minutes.

In thisLow-Carb Cabbage With Chicken Recipe finely I used green cabbage, shredded carrots, tomato sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and stir fry for 5 minutes. Then I add water or chicken stock and bay leaves and cook for 5-10 more minutes, until the cabbage is softened and the liquid has almost evaporated. Add the browned chicken and some paprika ( I like to add the paprika towards the end of cooking for best results, otherwise it may make the dish taste bitter) and finish cooking until the chicken is fully cooked.
