Cabbage with chicken gravy

Cabbage with chicken gravy is a flavorful and easy-to-make recipe that combines tender cabbage with rich, savory chicken gravy. This dish can serve as a perfect side or even as a main course when paired with a starch like rice or mashed potatoes.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cabbage: Start by washing the cabbage thoroughly. Remove any outer leaves that may be damaged. Chop the cabbage into roughly 1-inch pieces.
2. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the 2 tablespoons (27g) of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to completely melt and start to bubble, but not burn.
3. Cook the Cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Cook the cabbage, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and slightly caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. You want the cabbage to be tender but with a little bit of a bite.
4. Season the Cabbage: Once the cabbage is cooked to your desired tenderness, season it with a dash of salt (0.40g) and a dash of black pepper (0.1g). Stir to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
5. Add the Chicken Gravy: Pour the 2 cups (480g) of chicken gravy over the cabbage. Stir well to coat the cabbage with the gravy. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, ensuring the cabbage absorbs some of the gravy flavor and everything is heated through.
6. Serve: Once fully heated and the flavors are melded, remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the cabbage with chicken gravy hot as a main dish or side dish.

Cabbage with chicken gravy is a delicious and comforting dish that is straightforward to prepare. By following these simple steps and tips, you'll create a savory meal that's sure to please. Enjoy it warm with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
