Notes
Cut cabbage into 1-inch strips about 2-inches long. Coleslaw mix can be used but is thin and will only need 8-10 minutes to cook.
Optional additions include 2 cloves of minced garlic (added with the cabbage), parmesan cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
If you’re short on time, add a few tablespoons of chicken broth to the cabbage in the pan. This will help it to steam as it cooks reducing cooking time and adding flavor!
Keep leftovers in a covered container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 4 weeks. Thaw and add some fresh cabbage and reheat in a skillet.
