Tender chicken and sweet, browned cabbage come together in a garlicky tomato sauce with wilted spinach and Italian herbs. A satisfying one-pan main dish, finished with Parmesan for a savory touch.

Main Dish Italian

Steps

Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned outside and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the cabbage to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano; stir for 30 seconds.
Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for 3 minutes. Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet.
Fold in the spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve hot.

Tips for Italian Chicken, Cabbage & Spinach Skillet

A wide skillet gives the cabbage room to brown instead of steam.
The finished cabbage should be tender with a few golden edges; avoid cooking it until limp.
Grate Parmesan finely so it melts lightly into the warm dish.

Drink pairing

A medium-bodied Italian red such as Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
