Chicken with cabbage in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake chicken with cabbage in the oven? Prepare all the necessary products. You can use any part of the chicken for this recipe. This time I took the chicken leg. If you have frozen meat, first remove it from the freezer and leave it at room temperature until completely thawed. I used young cabbage; it has more tender leaves, and therefore in the finished dish it turned out softer and juicier.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the chicken into equal-sized portions. Rinse the meat, dry with paper towels and place in a deep bowl. Add mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste. At this stage, you can use any spices that you like. You can use your own mayonnaise, it will be tastier and healthier. Below the steps you will find a link to a catalog of homemade mayonnaise recipes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix everything well and leave to marinate for half an hour to an hour at room temperature.

4. STEP 4

   

   Remove outer leaves from cabbage. Rinse the head of cabbage and dry it. Cut the cabbage into strips with a knife. Don't make the stripes too thin.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the carrots and onions. Cut the onion into half rings or cubes, and grate the carrots on a grater with large teeth. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Sauté the vegetables until the onion is translucent.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add tomato paste, stir and leave on the stove for another minute. Tomato paste can be omitted from the recipe if desired.

7. STEP 7

   

   Send the tomato frying to the cabbage. Salt and pepper everything to taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix thoroughly.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the cabbage in a suitable sized dish and spread the marinated chicken on top. During baking, the cabbage will settle and its volume will decrease by almost half.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the pan in a preheated oven. Bake the chicken with cabbage until the meat is done. Determine the time and temperature yourself, based on the capabilities of your oven. I baked at 200 degrees for about 50 minutes. At the end of cooking, I turned on the convection mode and left for another 10 minutes until the chicken was browned. Time and temperature are approximate. Read more about how different ovens work at the end of this recipe.

For dinner I cooked chicken with cabbage in the oven using this recipe. I would never have thought that these products could be baked together) Usually chicken is combined with potatoes, rice or buckwheat. I decided to try it. Only I wanted to serve the side dish a little differently. I didn’t cut the cabbage into noodles, but cut it into slices so that each slice had part of the stalk. She holds the leaves together and gets a whole piece. I salted the cabbage and placed fried onions and carrots on top. Next, I laid out the chicken as in the recipe. I had a whole chicken, used the breasts in another dish, and for this I cut the rest of the carcass into portions, marinated it and laid it on top of the vegetables. I baked it for one hour at 200°, I didn’t turn on the grill, the dish was already ready. I didn't even expect it to turn out so delicious! The cabbage was soaked through with meat juice and marinade, incredibly tasty! At the same time, it did not fall apart, it remained in pieces, and even crunched in places. The chicken was well browned, also tasty, aromatic, soaked in a delicious marinade) This is an amazing dish, I will cook it often from now on)

Tender, juicy chicken meat is obtained using this recipe! I couldn’t even imagine that ordinary cabbage gives chicken such a unique taste! And the cabbage itself in chicken juice turned out so delicious. In general, this dish flew off the table with a bang! Thanks to the author for the great recipe!
