Serves: 5-6
Ingredients
  • 5-6 (4 oz.) boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 4 carrots peeled and cut into ⅛" slices
  • ½ onion sliced into thin strips
  • ½ head of cabbage cut into ¼" thick strips
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • dash of cayenne
  • ¼ teaspoon ground sage
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon ground mustard
  • salt
  • pepper
Directions
  1. Cut and prepare vegetables by peeling and slicing carrots, slicing onion and cabbage, and mincing garlic. Prepare sauce by mixing together in a small mixing bowl apple cider vinegar, honey, chicken broth, cayenne, sage, rosemary, thyme, coriander, and mustard. Set aside.
  2. Prepare chicken by trimming fat and generously seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons avocado oil on medium high heat in a large saucepan. Add onion and carrots. Stir to coat with oil and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to slightly above medium and make space to add chicken thighs. Cook for 7 minutes, stirring carrots and onions occassionally to make sure they don't burn. Turn chicken to opposite side. Arrange cabbage between thighs and pour liquid over. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove lid, increase heat to medium high so liquid is boiling and cook until liquid reduces and chicken is cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.*
  5. Serve over mashed potatoes, brown rice, or gluten free stroganoff noodles.
Notes
*If chicken is cooked before liquid has reduced, remove chicken and set aside while you coninue cooking cabbage mixture.
