Description
A cozy 6-ingredient one-pot dinner. Juicy chicken thighs and buttery, tender cabbage slow-cook together into a rich, spoonable broth — no added liquid needed.
Ingredients
1 head green cabbage, sliced into thick wedges or ribbons
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, cut into pats
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Slice the cabbage and spread it across the bottom of a 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker.
2. Scatter the butter pats evenly over the cabbage.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Season the chicken thighs with the spice blend and arrange them over the cabbage in a mostly single layer.
5. Cover and cook on HIGH for about 4 hours or LOW for 6-7 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the cabbage is tender.
6. Ladle the buttery juices over everything and serve warm.
Notes
No broth needed — the cabbage and chicken release plenty of liquid.
For crispy skin-on chicken, broil a few minutes before serving.
Bone-in chicken may need an extra 30-60 minutes.
Brighten with a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon at the end.
