There are many ways to cook cabbage in a single pan. You can make a one-pan chicken and cabbage dish, which involves cooking chicken, mushrooms, and cabbage in a large pot or Dutch oven. You can also make cabbage pouches or packets by wrapping cabbage in foil and cooking it on a grill, in an oven, or over a campfire. This can be done with just cabbage or with other ingredients like sausage, potatoes, onions, and garlic butter. Another option is to make stuffed cabbage rolls, which involves boiling cabbage leaves and using them to wrap a meat mixture before cooking them in a heavy pan on a stovetop.

What You'll Learn
Chicken and cabbage one-pan meal
Chicken and cabbage is a one-pan meal that is healthy, quick, and easy to make. It is gluten-free and can be served with rice. The chicken is cooked with sautéed cabbage, mushrooms, and simple seasonings. You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs cut into cubes or small pieces for even cooking and easy eating.
To make this one-pan meal, heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat for a minute. Add the chicken and sprinkle with paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Set it aside. Add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, scrape off any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Set aside.
Next, add a tablespoon of olive oil, onions, and bell pepper to the same pot. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until brown. Add the cabbage, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, and chicken broth. Mix in the cabbage shreds for a minute or two until coated and slightly wilted. Then, mix in the carrot shreds and add in the broth and seasonings. Bring to a simmer and lower the heat to continue cooking for about 10-15 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated. Finally, add the chicken back to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
You can also add rice to the dish. To do this, drain the rice and add it to the skillet with a cup of water or chicken broth, a teaspoon of salt, lemon juice, and dill. Mix together and bring to a boil. Then, remove from the heat and add the chicken, placing it on top of the rice. Place the skillet in a preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve.

Preparing the Cabbage Leaves:
Start by buying a large head of cabbage and freezing it whole in a plastic bag. The night before you want to make cabbage rolls, take the cabbage out of the freezer and place it in a sink full of cold water to thaw. The next day, carefully remove the outer leaves, cut out any remaining tough core, and cut the leaves in half if they are too large. Place the leaves in a pan, as they will continue to release water, and drain the pan once or twice. The leaves should now be tender and easy to roll.
Making the Filling:
For the filling, you will need ground beef, onion, rice, and seasonings. Dice and sauté one large onion in a large pot. In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef, sautéed onion, cooked rice, and your desired seasonings. You can use onion soup mix or a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your choice of additional seasonings.
Assembling the Cabbage Rolls:
Dip each cabbage leaf into the fat or grease of your choice (such as butter or bacon drippings). Place a scoop of the meat mixture onto the leaf and roll it up, turning in the sides and sealing it closed with the excess leaf. Repeat this process until you run out of cabbage leaves or filling.
Cooking the Cabbage Rolls:
Place any leftover cabbage leaves on the bottom of a heavy pan, such as a Dutch oven, to prevent burning. Arrange the cabbage rolls in the pan, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour, occasionally checking to ensure they are cooking and adding more liquid if needed.

Foil-packet cabbage wedges
Ingredients
- 1/2 head of green cabbage
- Bacon
- Chicken broth
- Onion
- Butter (optional)
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Garlic (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut and remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut the cabbage in half, trim out the core, and cut the cabbage into wedges about 1-1/2 to 2 inches thick. Cook the bacon until the fat is rendered but still limp and not crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it aside, reserving the bacon drippings. Gather up foil to form a tub and evenly distribute chicken broth around the sides of each cabbage wedge. Top each wedge with thinly sliced onion and spoon the reserved bacon drippings over each wedge. Distribute the bacon among each wedge. Gather the foil at the top, roll over to seal, and bring the edges of the foil up to seal. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 1 hour. Transfer each foil packet to serving plates, carefully loosen and top each with a pat of additional butter, if desired, or open and transfer wedges to a platter, topping with juices from each packet.
Tips
- You can also wrap your food in parchment paper and then enclose it in foil for packet cooking, so that the food isn't touching the foil.
- Foil-packet cabbage wedges are great for the oven, campfire, or grill.
- Adding an ice cube to the packet is a great way to add liquid without it pouring out when sealing the packet.

Sauteed cabbage
To make sauteed cabbage, start by adding butter and oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Then, saute some chopped onions in the oil and butter for about 3 minutes. Next, add the cabbage to the pan and toss or stir it using two spoons or tongs. Cook the cabbage until it is tender-crisp and slightly browned, which should take about 10-15 minutes. At this point, you can add some paprika and garlic to the pan and cook for a few more minutes. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Red cabbage or savoy cabbage can also be used, but note that red cabbage will discolor slightly during cooking. Smoked paprika is a great seasoning option for sauteed cabbage, adding a smoky flavor with minimal effort. If desired, you can also add caraway seeds and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
This simple dish is a great way to showcase the underrated ingredient that is cabbage, allowing its sweet flavor to shine through.

Frequently asked questions
You will need cabbage, bacon, butter, chicken broth, and seasonings such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Creole or Cajun seasoning.
First, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered but still limp. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it in half, trim the core, and cut it into wedges. Place each wedge on a sheet of foil with butter, seasonings, and chicken broth. Wrap the foil tightly to form pouches and bake in the oven or cook on a grill.
The total cooking time will depend on the method used. If baking in the oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for around 35-40 minutes. If cooking on a grill, the pouches should be ready in under 15 minutes.
Yes, you can make cabbage pouches without using foil by placing the cabbage wedges directly into a pan or pot. However, foil is recommended as it intensifies the flavors and makes cleanup easier.
