Chicken Thighs with Cabbage and Bacon image

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 pounds Chicken thighs (bone in, skin on)
8 ounces Slab bacon
1 Onion (medium, thinly sliced)
1 pound Cabbage (finely shredded)
2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar
3 cups Chicken stock
3 tablespoons Sugar
2 Bay leaves
6 Thyme (sprigs)
2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 4- to 5-quart straight-sided sauté pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook without moving it until well browned and crisp, about 8 minutes total, lowering heat if it starts to smoke excessively. Flip chicken and brown lightly on second side, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a large plate and set aside.
  • Add bacon to pan and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add cabbage and cook, stirring, until softened and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add mustard and vinegar and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan. Add chicken stock, sugar, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs and bring to a simmer.
  • Nestle chicken back into sauté pan, leaving the skin above the liquid but submerging most of the meat. Transfer pan to oven and cook, uncovered, until chicken is totally tender and liquid has reduced by about half, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and transfer chicken to a serving platter. Stir butter into sauté pan and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, spooning cabbage and sauce into shallow bowls and topping with chicken.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of chicken, cabbage, and bacon seems a bit odd.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but this recipe changed my mind. The bacon and chicken thighs really helped to balance out the flavor of the cabbage.

This recipe was a hit! The chicken was tender and juicy, the cabbage was perfectly cooked, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
