A hearty and flavorful chicken and cabbage stew, perfect for a comforting meal.
Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces and dice the onion and tomatoes.
Ensure the cabbage pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
Browning the chicken enhances the flavor of the stew.
Stir in the cabbage, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika, mixing well.
Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor.
Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the stew doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
