Chicken, Carrots, Cabbage

Evidently today's blog post is brought to you by the letter C: Chicken, Carrots, Cabbage.

Now, the picture below is not pretty, I get that. But if you had capabilities to smell the food through the internet, your mouth would be watering for this deliciousness...I promise!


Here is what you need:
  • slow cooker of choice
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 small red cabbage
  • 4 medium chicken breasts
  • 1/2 medium red onion (or 1 small)
  • chicken broth, enough to cover contents in cooker
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Here is what you do:
  • Peel carrots and slice into similarly sized sticks (say that 10 times fast)
  • Chop onion into big chunks
  • Slice cabbage into large sections, keeping all layers in tact
  • Cut chicken breasts in half
  • Load everything into the slow cooker and cover with broth
  • Add salt and pepper
  • Cook on high for 3 hours (disclaimer: depending on your slow cooker and the thickness of your chicken, you may need to cook it longer)

I added the red cabbage because I forgot to buy potatoes, and I wanted another veggie to throw in the mix. I have to tell you...the cabbage was my favorite part of the whole meal! I am SOOO glad I forgot the potatoes! It was serendipitous for sure!

What happy accidents have you stumbled across while cooking in your kitchen?
