Cabbage Chicken and Rice Skillet

This is about the easiest recipe you'll have to make if you love cabbage rolls this is a deconstructed style with shredded cabbage, chicken and rice in one skillet.

I have made this meal with leftover rotisserie chicken, broken-up hamburgers, and sliced kielbasa or sauteed loose Italian sausage.

The best part about this meal is you can use leftover white rice and any meats you may have even boneless steak or pork chops off the bone!

I used tomato sauce in can for this however I know folks love tomato soup so feel free to adapt this recipe to how your used to making stuffed cabbage rolls.

I have even mixed leftovers, meats just about anything can go in this skillet-style deconstructed stuffed cabbage.

I just love repurposing leftovers and this quick throw-together meal is just delicious and has just a few extra ingredients in it to taste like you made it from scratch.

Cabbage Chicken and Rice Skillet

This Deconstructed Italian Stuffed Cabbage Recipe is one easy recipe to make. Cabbage Rice and any cooked meats!

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 55 MinTotal time: 1 H & 5 M

Ingredients

• leftover cooked meat IE: ground beef, ground turkey, ground chicken, loose sausage, boneless chicken see notes for more options
• 1/2 a head of a large head of cabbage cut into long very thin slices (cored removed and thick vein stalk part)
• 1 can of tomato sauce 28 ounces
• 2 cups of cooked rice
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 small onion finely chopped is optional
• salt, pepper
• cayenne pepper is optional
• fresh herbs of choice: I used Italian flat-leaf parsley chopped around 2 tablespoons

Instructions

1. If using raw meats, saute the ground beef or meats first. If using leftovers set aside I used around 2 cups of chopped rotisserie off-the-bone chicken breast.
2. If you don't have leftover cooked rice then make it according to package instructions and set that aside.
3. In a deep skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute the cabbage until wilted. Stir in garlic and chopped onion and saute 3 minutes more.
4. Add the tomato sauce and simmer until the cabbage is soft adding water as it boils down and gets thick. This takes around 35 to 55 minutes.
5. NOTE: Make sure the cabbage is cut very thin or this will take longer to cook.
6. When the cabbage is cooked add the cooked rice and chicken or meat you're using and warm this evenly with the sauce and cabbage mixture.
