The combination of tender Savoy cabbage and sweet potatoes says fall is in the air.
Ingredients
  • uncooked boneless skinless chicken thigh(s)
    1 pound(s), trimmed of all visible fat and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • table salt
    ½ tsp
  • black pepper
    ¼ tsp
  • canola oil
    2 tsp
  • uncooked cabbage (all varieties)
    5 cup(s), chopped, Savoy, shredded, about (1-pound)
  • uncooked red onion(s)
    1 large, thinly sliced
  • garlic clove(s)
    2 clove(s), medium, chopped
  • uncooked sweet potato(es)
    2 medium, peeled and cut into 1 1/4-inch chunks
  • reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 ¼ cup(s)
  • water
    ¾ cup(s)
  • frozen green peas
    1 cup(s)
  • fresh thyme
    1 Tbsp, fresh, chopped
  • all-purpose flour
    1 Tbsp
Instructions
  1. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the same Dutch oven, then add the cabbage, onion, and garlic. Cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and onion are just tender, about 8 minutes. Return the chicken to the Dutch oven; stir in the sweet potatoes, broth, 1/2 cup of the water and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir in the peas and thyme; heat through.
  4. Combine the flour and the remaining 1/4 cup water in a small bowl until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the Dutch oven. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 3 minutes. Yields 1 1/3 cups per serving.
Notes
If you like, use chopped fresh oregano instead of the thyme, or substitute a teaspoon of dried thyme or oregano for the fresh.
