One-Pan Chicken & Cabbage with Rice

This one-pan chicken and cabbage recipe is a super-flavorful dish, with rice absorbing all the flavor from the chicken and the broth mixture. The cabbage is perfectly tender, and the char adds a nice color to the dish. To keep the wedges from falling apart, leave the core intact. The chicken crisps up easily when you remove the lid from the pan and let it bake directly under the heat.

This delicious twist on a Caesar salad features cabbage in place of romaine lettuce. Roasting the cabbage brings out its natural sweetness, which pairs nicely with the umami-forward dressing. Keeping the wedges whole makes for a stunning presentation, but you can also chop the wedges if desired. Brushing the cabbage with a lemon-garlic oil ensures each crevice is bursting with flavor.

These perfectly roasted cabbage wedges draw inspiration from cacio e pepe, an Italian pasta dish that translates to “cheese and pepper.” Blooming the black pepper in butter and oil before brushing it on the cabbage deepens the flavor and ensures a peppery kick in every bite. Be sure to heat the baking sheet while the oven preheats—it helps jump-start the browning of the cabbage. Serve alongside seared chicken thighs or grilled steak.
