1. ### Basic Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage and Roasted Cabbage Recipe
3. #### Introduction
4. Looking for a simple yet delicious meal that can be made in one pan? This sheet pan chicken sausage and roasted cabbage recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekend dinners. It's packed with flavor, easy to prepare, and requires minimal cleanup.
6. #### Ingredients
7. - 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
8. - 8 oz chicken sausages (optional, can be replaced with vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for a vegetarian option)
9. - 2 large heads of green cabbage, shredded
10. - 4 cloves garlic, minced
11. - 1/4 cup olive oil
12. - Salt and pepper to taste
13. - 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves)
14. - 1 tsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
15. - Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
17. #### Instructions
19. **Step 1: Preheat the Oven**
20. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
22. **Step 2: Prepare the Chicken and Cabbage**
23. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage with minced garlic. Drizzle olive oil over the cabbage, sprinkle salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well to coat the cabbage evenly.
25. **Step 3: Add Chicken and Sausages (If Using)**
26. Place half of the prepared cabbage in a large baking dish or sheet pan. Add chicken pieces and sausages on top of one side of the cabbage. This helps prevent the vegetables from getting too mushy while cooking.
28. **Step 4: Season the Proteins**
29. Drizzle some olive oil over the chicken and sausages, then sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and thyme if desired. Toss to ensure even coating.
31. **Step 5: Roast in the Oven**
32. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the sausages are browned on the outside.
34. **Step 6: Add Sweetness Optional**
35. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the top just before serving. This step is optional but enhances the overall flavor profile.
37. **Step 7: Garnish and Serve**
38. Remove from the oven once done. Let it rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve hot, garnished with your choice of herbs.
40. #### Tips
41. - **Variation:** Add other vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or sweet potatoes for extra fiber and nutrients.
42. - **Storage:** Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
44. By following these detailed steps, you'll have a hearty and flavorful sheet pan chicken sausage and roasted cabbage dish ready in no time! Perfect for any day of the week.
