Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cabbage, thinly sliced
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook Bacon and Onions:
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.
- Saute Onions and Garlic:
- Add the sliced onion to the bacon drippings in the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Cabbage:
- Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
- Simmer:
- Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar. Sprinkle in the sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Cover the skillet and let the cabbage simmer over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
- Finish and Serve:
- Once the cabbage is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, stir in the reserved crispy bacon. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the smothered cabbage for garnish, if desired. Serve the smothered cabbage alongside the baked chicken wings.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the baked chicken wings and smothered cabbage hot as a hearty and satisfying meal.
- You can also serve with additional sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
