Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
I enjoy boneless chicken breasts the most with this recipe, however, I have used boneless pork loin and London broil before as substitutes, and have been happy with the result. You could even use shrimp, scallops, or calamari if you wanted to make this a seafood dish.
For the tomatoes, fresh diced plum tomatoes are always preferred by me, however, canned diced tomatoes are inexpensive and easy to use. I have also used sun dried tomatoes, black olives, and roasted red peppers in this dish. I encourage you to try a variety of ingredients to pair with the chicken and cabbage.
For more flavor and nutritional diversity, you could add one of several vegetables, including Swiss chard, kale (add some cooking time), escarole, eggplant, zucchini, green beans, and peas, to name a few. Really the list of vegetables is endless. Use what you have in the house, or try some new combinations of vegetables. The main thing is to have fun and enjoy.
