1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse 1 cup of Basmati rice several times and then soak in cold water for 15 minutes13.
2. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper to taste13.
3. Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside13.
   • *Pro Tip:* Browning the chicken adds depth of flavor to the entire dish.
4. Sauté Aromatics: Reduce the heat to low, add the chopped onion to the pan, and cook until softened. Add the grated garlic and warm through until fragrant13.
5. Add Cabbage: Increase the heat to medium-high, add the shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix), and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper13.
6. Combine Chicken and Cabbage: Return the chicken to the pan and nestle it within the cabbage. Cook for 20-25 minutes13.
7. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)13.

   • *Pro Tip:* Ensure the chicken is sitting on top of the rice to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
9. Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is cooked through13.
10. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this complete and flavorful one-pan meal3.
