Sheet Pan Chicken Breast With Potatoes and Cabbage

The other day, someone on our local Buy Nothing group* was giving away her weekly garden veggies she grows. She grows SO much and can’t eat it all, so she gives it out to her neighbors. I never ask as I want to leave the food for those in need. But no one wanted her cabbage. We love cabbage so I gladly took the biggest green cabbage I’ve ever seen from her. We’ve been making different recipes with it all week but this is a new one I haven’t made before that I wanted to share. It’s very much a chop, and roast/bake kinda recipe. So while it takes a while, most of it is hands-off cooking time.

This recipe is very filling and it’s great for those who are trying not to eat as many carbs (yes, I know it has potatoes, but you can easily not eat the big chunks if you’re watching your carbs)! You can easily add more veg and chicken if you’re serving a larger crowd and half it if it’s just a special dinner for you. However you make it and whoever you eat it with, you’ll love this one!

Let me know what you think in the comments below! Happy cooking. 🙂

*PS – Do you have a local Buy Nothing group? They are all over the US and I just love that it keeps waste out of our landfills. You should check out your local group!
