From the Test Kitchen

In this recipe, we’re serving up juicy chicken (dredged in flour and pan-seared) with a duo of German-inspired side dishes. We’re braising delicate savoy cabbage with honey and apple cider vinegar, turning it tender and delicious. To complement the cabbage, we’re also making a filling potato salad with whole grain Dijon mustard and fresh herbs. All together, it makes for a warming winter dinner, rich with the robust flavors of hearty German cooking.

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling on high. Medium dice the potatoes. Peel, halve and thinly slice the onion. Remove and discard the cabbage core; thinly slice the leaves. Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Pick the parsley leaves off the stems; discard the stems and thinly slice the leaves. Quarter and deseed the lemon.

While the potatoes cook, in a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the cabbage; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly wilted.
