Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium White onion, finely chopped
• 4 cups Green cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 4

Add the sliced cabbage and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 6

Lower the heat to simmer and add the heavy cream, thyme, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the cabbage and sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
