Chicken and Savoy Cabbage Skillet

Cooking time: 40 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for "menu" instructions

I've been working on more 'skillet' dinners: everything cooking in the same pan. Nice for a busy season. This simmers a bit longer than the rice alone takes to cook, as it's not covered with liquid to start.

Chicken and Savoy Cabbage Skillet

Sauté it all briefly, put the lid on and let it cook: easy skillet dinner.

Chicken and Savoy Cabbage Skillet Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1/2 small savoy cabbage, about 2 cups, sliced

2 tsp soy sauce
1 tbs olive oil
