If you have plenty of chicken breast, you can grill it with just oil and salt, and elevate it by pairing it with a flavorful side: this glazed cabbage really adds value to such a simple cut of meat. A guaranteed success!
Here’s how to prepare grilled chicken with glazed cabbage step by step.
Cut the cabbage into 4–6 wedges, keeping the core intact so they stay compact.
Place each wedge on a sheet of foil, drizzle with oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and seal the foil tightly.
Arrange the foil packets on a baking tray and bake in a static oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 35–40 minutes, until tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a small pan, melt the butter, add the honey and vinegar, and let simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
When the cabbage is ready, open the packets, transfer the wedges to a tray, and brush the surface with the hot glaze. Return to the oven uncovered for another 5–7 minutes, just long enough to lightly caramelize the top.
Grill the chicken breast, season with oil, salt, and pepper. Serve with a wedge of glazed cabbage and, if you like, garnish with edible flowers.
