This one-pan chicken and cabbage dish is cooked in coconut milk and is an easy dish for dinner or lunch. I made this for lunch because normally, we eat a heavy meal for lunch. What I mean by heavy is with rice. Without rice, this is a perfect dinner idea.
Budget-wise, this dish costs less than $12 and can feed up to 4 people. If you have to prepare for more than 4, just add more chicken. No need to add cabbage since there is plenty on this recipe. But feel free to add more if you’re a cabbage lover. And, if you’re a vegetable lover, you can also throw in different kinds of veggies.
I only used 1 can of coconut milk, but if you like more sauce, you can always add another can of coconut milk. And, if coconut milk is not available, use heavy cream as a substitute. It will be creamier.
The creamy sauce is a perfect complement over white rice if you consider pairing it. Otherwise, you can eat this dish as is.
