Braised Cabbage with Chicken Thighs
One bag, one bake, three months of dinners.
Cabbage is an excellent source of fiber, but many avoid it due to its specific smell. Baking in a bag solves that problem — the juices soak into the cabbage, making it deliciously flavorful. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
