Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Reduce heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet.
  • Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Knife

Notes

  • Use a large skillet so the cabbage can cook without steaming.
  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Cook cabbage longer for softer texture or less for more crunch.
