Creamy Cabbage with Chicken and Mushrooms

This easy Creamy Cabbage with Chicken and Mushrooms makes for a comforting easy weeknight dinner! One-pot super simple recipe your family will enjoy! 

Sautéed cabbage is a frequent ingredient in Ukrainian cuisine, combined with sour cream and fresh dill it makes this dish simply irresistible!

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE:

• Basic ingredients, healthy, and super easy to prepare!
• Cabbage is extremely affordable, versatile, and nutritious. Cabbage stores well in your fridge for 2-4 weeks. You can replace pasta with cabbage. 
• Ground Meat is the most flexible ingredient you can have in your fridge. You can use ANY ground meat in this recipe. Just some ideas for you – make Meatballs, Meatloaf, or Patties on a skillet.
•  I’ve used baby portabella mushrooms for added flavor, but white mushrooms or cremini would be a great choice as well.
• Sour cream stirred in at the end makes this dish impossibly creamy and extra luxurious! You can also use creme fraiche or heavy cream instead. 
• Lastly don’t forget the fresh herbs. Fresh dill is super popular in Ukraine, Russia, and Europe in general. It adds so much flavor to this dish. Make sure and don’t skip it.

As with most of my recipes, this recipe is incredibly FLEXIBLE! 

• Add as much or as little sour cream as you like.
• Make it vegetarian and just skip the ground meat. It makes a great side dish for chicken, steak, or pork chops. Lots of flavors come together fast. Or you can use it as a stuffing for pirozhki!
• Don’t like mushrooms? Just skip them. 

Create a meal that you and your family will enjoy!

We love GreenWise Ground Chicken from Publix, the consistency and the taste are just like you have grounded the meat yourself.
