Friends, I cooked today - it's stewed cabbage with chicken and tomatoes. The unusual thing is that a dish prepared according to this recipe can replace both the first and the second at the same time. Stewed cabbage is dietary, as it is prepared without oil and without frying. And a large number of tomatoes in the dish creates a pleasant color accent and pleases the eye.

Braised cabbage with chicken and tomatoes: a diet recipe

For the recipe, I used chicken thighs. In my opinion, they are not as greasy as chicken legs, and not as dry. Tomatoes are best taken in small sizes. I used (such as the "Ladyfingers" variety), you can try with cherry tomatoes. If only large tomatoes are available, then cut them into 2 or 4 parts, depending on the size, but do not grind them.

Lyrical digression.

I have been on a diet for three days. At night I wanted to drink water, went to the refrigerator, then everything was as if in a fog - I woke up when I washed down a chocolate bar with borscht.

Ingredients:

• chicken pieces (I used chicken drumsticks) you can take any chicken meat, chicken breast or chicken legs) 4 pcs.
• 5 -20pcs. (the amount depends on the size of the tomatoes and your taste)
• white cabbage cut into ½ small head
• cauliflower (cut into inflorescences, then lightly break) you can use frozen cauliflower) 250g.
• green sweet bell pepper 1 pc.
• garlic 5 cloves
• ground black pepper
• grated ginger 1 tsp optional
• bay leaf 2 pcs.
• black allspice 3-4 pcs.
• grated hard cheese for sprinkling (optional)

How to stew cabbage with chicken meat and tomatoes

• Salt, pepper the chicken thighs, sprinkle with finely chopped garlic. Leave for 10 minutes to stand.
• In a cauldron, saucepan or deep frying pan, shift the chicken drumsticks, pour a small amount of water, add the grated ginger. Stew chicken meat on low heat under a closed lid for 15 minutes.
• Then add the cauliflower, chopped white cabbage and diced green bell peppers. Simmer over low heat. Make sure the dish does not burn, add water if necessary. I like it when the cabbage stays a little firm, undercooked. At this stage, you can try stewed cabbage and straighten it with salt and spices.
• 5 minutes before readiness, add tomatoes, allspice, peas and bay leaf. When turn off the heat, let the dish stand for 10 minutes with the lid closed. Before serving, sprinkle the stewed cabbage with chicken and tomatoes generously with cilantro (or any other greens) and grated cheese (ideally use Parmesan).

Bon Appetit!

Stewed white cabbage, in my opinion, is one of the most delicious vegetable dishes. A great many recipes have been invented, and of them, those in which cabbage is stewed with some kind of meat, such as chicken meat, are especially successful. If you are interested in this combination, if you are looking for some simple homemade recipe, some new ideas, then this article is just for you. Here you will learn how to quickly and easily stew cabbage with chicken and other ingredients.

What is the essence of this dish? What are the nuances? I will briefly reveal the principles of cooking, and then we will move on to step-by-step recipes. If you are in a hurry, then go down below and select the desired item in the article menu.

Braised cabbage is an extremely simple dish. Roughly speaking, it is enough to chop cabbage and other vegetables, put it all in a saucepan or saucepan, turn on low heat and simmer under a lid until cooked. If you are going to add meat, then it is advisable to fry it in advance until fragrant, and then lay fresh cabbage on top. And there are several important points here.

Since in this case we will take chicken, keep in mind that chicken meat can fall apart into fibers during long heat treatment. And if you stew cabbage for too long, then by the time it is ready, the chicken can literally dissolve, turn into “porridge”. And here and there some cartilage, bones and other unpleasant things will come across. In general, it will not be very tasty.

This can happen if you are going to cook a very large amount of cabbage in a large, very large saucepan. And with not very powerful tiles. All this will stretch the total cooking time, and for chicken that has already been fried a long time ago, this is not desirable. How can we get out of this situation?

Fry the chicken until fully cooked, then remove it, and in this fragrant juice, oil, simmer the cabbage already. And when the cabbage becomes soft, just add back the pieces of meat. Simmer for a few more minutes, and the dish will be ready. I repeat once again that this should be done if you are going to stew several kg of cabbage at a time (and in a huge bowl). If the volumes are modest, then you can do as suggested in all the recipes below.

And after the recipes there is a list of different tips and ideas that will help diversify this dish.

Classic recipe for stewed cabbage with chicken (the most delicious)

This recipe is considered classic, "usual" and the most popular. I was given something like this in the school cafeteria. For color, taste and aroma, onions, carrots, a little garlic and tomato paste are added here. In general, nothing more.

This cabbage goes well with mashed potatoes or even regular pasta (horns). We will stew with chicken breast. If desired, it can be replaced with thighs, wings, etc.

Ingredients:

• White cabbage - 1.5 kg.
• Chicken breast - 700 g.
• Onion - 2 pcs.
• Carrots - 1 medium;
• Garlic - 2-4 cloves (optional)
• Tomato paste - 3-5 tbsp. spoons (or some kind of tomato sauce);
• Suneli hops - 1 teaspoon (optional);
• Ground paprika - 1 teaspoon (to taste);
• Sunflower oil (odorless) - 100 ml. (possibly less);
• Salt - 1-2 teaspoons (as you like);
• Fresh herbs (dill, parsley) - 1 small bunch (optional);

Step by step cooking

Remove the skin from the chicken breast, cut the fillet from the bones, then cut the meat into small pieces.

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the vegetable oil well. We spread the chicken there, stir, reduce the heat to medium level, cover with a lid. We fry for 10-15 minutes. Just in time to prepare the rest of the ingredients.

We clean and chop the onion. You can cut it into half rings, or you can cut it into such “cubes”.

We clean the carrots, wash them, then cut them into strips or three on a coarse grater. Remove 1-2 outer withered leaves from the cabbage, and chop the rest. Length, thickness of the pieces at your discretion. For example, I like when the cabbage is small.

The meat turned white, slightly decreased in volume, somewhere in places there is a golden crust. The typical aroma of fried chicken appeared.

Add the onion to the chicken, squeeze out 1-2 cloves of garlic, mix and fry for another 3-5 minutes. The lid can no longer be covered.

Now it's the turn of the carrots, put it in a saucepan, mix again.

You can add some salt at this stage. We also add pepper, paprika, suneli hops and any other aromatic seasonings to taste. The main thing is that you like them. We fry for about 4 more minutes.

Well, now you can spread chopped cabbage here. If it does not fit all, then lay half, mix and cover with a lid. After 5-10 minutes, the cabbage will settle, and you can add the rest. Simmer under the lid.

After 15 minutes, add tomato paste or sauce. Pasta will be enough 3-4 spoons, sauces, ketchups will need more. Instead, if desired, you can add tomatoes in their own juice.

Stir, simmer for 10 minutes, add more salt if necessary. Also for flavor, you can put 1-2 bay leaves. Add fresh chopped herbs, mix and simmer until the cabbage is soft. It is difficult to specify the exact time here, since the dishes and tiles are different for everyone.

The kitchen will be filled with such a divine aroma that it will make you salivate! Good appetite!

By the way, instead of bread, stewed cabbage can be served with fragrant . They are prepared in almost 15 minutes, so I advise you to familiarize yourself with the recipes.

Although stewed cabbage belongs to everyday dishes, but believe me, simple food is often the most favorite. Precisely because it is delicious, and because it is prepared simply, from the most common products, affordable and inexpensive. During fasting, cabbage is cooked in a lean version as a main course, as a side dish for fried or boiled potatoes, for stuffing in pies, etc. And when there is no ban on meat products, this is where you can turn around! Stew cabbage with meat, duck, bacon, sausages, minced meat. Or with chicken, preferably homemade. Braised cabbage with chicken, the recipe with a photo of which we offer step by step, turns out to be very tasty! Domestic chicken meat is significantly different in taste from broilers, and the chicken itself is fatty, so you will need quite a bit of oil to stew cabbage. If you stew cabbage with broiler meat, then instead of vegetable oil, fry chicken and vegetables in smoked lard. Its appetizing aroma will permeate all the other ingredients without the need to add spices or spices. Well, maybe a little pepper for those who like spicy food. It will turn out very tasty!

Ingredients:
- boneless chicken breast - 1 pc;
- white cabbage - 600-800 gr;
- onion - 2 pcs (medium in size);
- carrots - 1 large;
- vegetable oil - 2-4 tbsp. spoons (or lard, 60-70 gr. fat);
- tomato sauce - 3 tbsp. spoons (to taste);
- salt - to taste;
- Lavrushka - 2 leaves;
- black pepper - 0.5 tsp;
- ground paprika - 1 teaspoon;
- hot peppers - 0.5 pcs (optional);
- water or broth - 0.5 cups (if necessary).

Recipe with photo step by step:

Cut the boneless chicken breast (do not cut the skin) into small pieces. If using broiler fillets, then cut a little larger, taking into account the fact that the pieces will decrease in size when frying.




Chop the onion quite thinly, in half rings or quarter rings.





Cut carrots into cubes or slices, straws. You can grate, but then you have to add more oil, because. grated carrots quickly absorb it when frying.





Heat the oil in a deep saucepan or large skillet with high sides. If you use smoked lard instead of butter, cut into small pieces, melt the fat in a dry frying pan. Remove the cracklings - they can be added to the cabbage at the very end of cooking. Add chicken pieces, fry over medium-high heat.







As soon as the chicken is browned a little and the meat brightens, put the onions, mix. Reduce heat to low, simmer until onion is translucent. You can brown it a little.





Add carrots to the pan, fry for a few minutes until it is soft and saturated with oil.





Let the vegetables and chicken fry, at this time chop the cabbage into thin strips (about the same as for first courses, not very thin).





Transfer cabbage to skillet with chicken and vegetables. To make it warm up faster, lose volume and be able to mix everything, add in small portions, one or two handfuls. As soon as it becomes soft, add the next portion.







Then mix everything, salt, cover and simmer cabbage and chicken meat until soft. Approximately 30 minutes in time. If the cabbage is not juicy at all, and does not release juice when heated, pour in a little water, otherwise everything will burn. When the vegetables are soft, add either tomato paste, twisted tomatoes. For a sour tomato, add a couple pinches of sugar to even out the taste.





Mix everything, simmer for another 10 minutes. Add spices to your taste (if you add), bay leaf. Stir, warm, leave to simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, without covering the cabbage with a lid. The fire must be very quiet so that the vegetables soften evenly and do not burn.





Cover the prepared cabbage with a lid, leave it to brew on a warm burner. After 10-15 minutes, arrange on plates and serve.

It should only come across in the finished dish, breaking up into fibers. The main role in the dish is given to cabbage. So, pour a little vegetable oil into the pan. Fry the chicken fillet. Lay it out at a distance from each other. Do not flip the meat to the other side until you are sure that the underside is sufficiently ruddy. It will take about 8-10 minutes on one side on medium heat. The meat will not give much juice because it is not salty.

Step 3 of 5

Add shredded cabbage. Immediately mix the cabbage with the bottom layer of meat and carrots. Otherwise, the bottom layer will start to burn.

Step 4 of 5

How to cook stewed cabbage with chicken

First of all, cut the chicken fillet. Instead of fillet, you can use chicken thighs, but they should be prepared: cut the meat from the bone and remove the skin. Then we do everything according to the recipe.

Grate the carrots and cut the onions into cubes.

Now, in a large frying pan, fry the meat over high heat until it browns. Add a little vegetable oil.

Add onions and carrots to meat. Fry together for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, do not forget to stir all the time. Prepared vegetables can be transferred from the pan to a large cauldron or thick-bottomed pan. This will be required if you are preparing a large portion, and it will not fit in the pan.

Now finely chop the cabbage. For a tasty dish, choose a firm head with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Shred arbitrarily, but remember that the larger the pieces, the longer it will fry.

We spread the cabbage in the pan, do not be alarmed if there is a lot of it and it takes up most of the pan. During cooking, it will decrease in volume by 2 times. Reduce the fire to medium.

If you think that water is not enough, feel free to add half a glass - a glass of water. Salt, add pepper to taste. You can put a bay leaf for flavor, but from the finished dish, it will need to be removed.

4. Now put everything in a stew pan, add chopped cabbage and 50 g of mushroom (meat) broth to it, but you can also use water.
5. Be sure to mix everything well, simmer over medium heat for 25-30 minutes. We close the container tightly with a lid, and mix the contents every 8-10 minutes.
6. When the cabbage becomes transparent and tasty, add salt, spices, and tomato paste. Simmer for another 10 minutes over low heat. If the liquid has completely boiled away, add a little broth (necessarily warm).
7. Serve hot cabbage.

Cooking stewed cabbage begins with the preparation of meat. We wash and dry the chicken fillet, cut it into medium cubes, sprinkle with pepper, salt and other spices to your taste. Stir, leave for about 10-15 minutes.

We heat the pan and only after that we pour oil into it, dip the meat in hot oil and fry it until light gold on medium heat.

While the chicken is frying, you need to peel the onions and carrots. We rub the carrots on a medium grater, finely chop the onion.

Add vegetables to skillet with chicken. Pass for 3-4 minutes, turn off.

Wash and chop the cabbage. It is not necessary to chop it very finely, as it can quickly burn out, it is better to chop it into strips of medium thickness.

Next, in a fairly large saucepan, combine the meat and a third of the chopped cabbage. Do not immediately pour all the cabbage into the pan, because this way it will drastically decrease in volume. Add 50 ml of water, simmer for 3-4 minutes,

Add another third of cabbage. Stir, simmer for 3-4 minutes over medium heat, add a little water (boiling water) if necessary.

Add the last third of the cabbage, mix. See how much cabbage we got? But if they added everything at once, then it would “fall” and the volume would turn out to be almost 2 times less (checked!). We continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.

Now you can season the stewed cabbage with pepper and salt. At the same stage, tomato paste and bay leaf are added.

Stir and simmer for another 5-7 minutes over low heat. We try the dish to taste, if it turned out bitter due to tomato paste, you can add a tablespoon of sugar.

Serve the finished dish hot to the table or reheat if it has cooled down. Decorate with herbs - it can be leek, arugula and parsley.

Braised cabbage with chicken is a food that I agree to eat with pans, stewpans and even pots. I like the recipe because the cabbage turns out to be completely low-fat and at the same time very juicy. And, what I especially like, a decent amount of chicken in cabbage. The chicken becomes soft due to the fact that it is first quickly fried, and then calmly stewed with cabbage with the addition of water. Yes, yes, no beer or apple juice. The set of products is simple and, I would even say, ascetic. The taste of stewed cabbage with chicken largely "makes" the tomato sauce that you add to it at the very end. Therefore, try to choose a good, pleasant taste, since you only need three teaspoons of it. Of course, spices are also important. I like to sprinkle cumin everywhere. But my husband is categorically against it, so I used the democratic suneli hops, which emphasizes the taste of the dish without pulling the blanket over me. (Well, of course, if you do not pour a whole bag into the cabbage.) And the last important point. Remember that cabbage, which is part of almost any dish, requires some time to infuse after cooking - only then will it fully absorb the taste of the sauce. I will remind you of this again below, when I write down the recipe for stewed cabbage with chicken with step-by-step photos. And I also indicate there how long it takes to fry, when and how many times to add water, what is done and why, and how to get the most pleasant result. I hope my simple tips will help you and you will also join the ranks of fans of this simple and very tasty dish.

Ingredients:

• Chicken (any parts, I have a breast) - 350-400 grams,
• Fresh white cabbage - 600-700 grams,
• Onion - 1 medium size (80 grams),
• Carrot - 1 medium size (80 grams),
• Red sweet pepper (optional) - a third or half a large one,
• Tomato sauce - 3 teaspoons,
• Salt - to taste
• Seasonings - to taste (I put half a teaspoon of suneli hops)

How delicious to stew cabbage with chicken

1. My chicken, shake off the remaining water, cut into thin strips. We spread it on a well-heated frying pan with high sides or a saucepan, poured with vegetable oil.

2. Fry quickly, stirring occasionally, until golden fried veins appear on some pieces.

3. My onion, clean, cut into half rings. Put in a saucepan, mix with chicken.

Reduce the heat of the stove to medium. Cook until onion is translucent (5 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

4. My carrots and peppers, clean, cut into strips. Pour into a saucepan. Mix with chicken, fry for 5 minutes. Then add water (4-5 tablespoons), stew vegetables with chicken, stirring, for 5 minutes. We do not close the lid.

As a result, we will get a fragrant chicken broth in which cabbage will be stewed. Salt it, pepper it, season it with spices. This technique will help to make the cabbage more saturated in taste.

5. Finely chop the kaputa. I rub it on a burner - an absolutely indispensable thing for such cases. Put the cabbage in a saucepan. Stir with chicken and vegetables, fry for 10 minutes, stir two or three more times in the process.

6. Pour a third of a glass of water into the cabbage, close the lid, but not tightly, so that it is shifted by about a centimeter. Reduce the heat on the stove to low. Simmer for 20 minutes. If your cabbage is juicy, like mine, it will become soft during this time. If the cabbage is tougher and drier, then the time can be increased to 30 or even 40 minutes in the case of especially dry specimens. Our task is to make all the cabbage transparent and soft.

7. Add tomato sauce. A very important point is that the sauce itself should be delicious. Otherwise, if the sauce is too sour or made with overcooked tomato paste, the cabbage will go bad. I make tomato sauce. It's Italian, very pretty to look at, but it tastes sour, like lemon. I take a teaspoon of topless paste, add two teaspoons of sugar and dilute with a tablespoon of water. Mix well and try. I add a little salt, sugar, if it's still sour. And when I understand that I have got an excellent tomato sauce, which I would serve with peace of mind at the table just like that, only then I add it to the cabbage.

8. Still mix once, warm up for three minutes. Turn off the stove and leave covered for 10 minutes.
