These little cabbage rolls make a great first course, reminiscent of the Greek stuffed grape leaves. I got the idea in an old Italian cook book. The chicken is also Italian, and the easiest, fool-proof chicken recipe I have. Keeping it easy is the Potato Cauliflower Medley. Make gravy/sauce from the chicken or not, as you choose. We'll use the rest of the chicken on Monday.
Total time: 55 minutes
Small cabbage rolls, stuffed with a bit of leek, ham and polenta and braised, make an easy first course. The rolls can be made ahead, then left to braise for 30 minutes before serving, making them an easy party dish as well. Serve with a creamy Paprika Sauce.

Instructions:
Note: To remove cabbage leaves first locate the outermost leaf. Cut the stem end from the main stalk. Starting opposite the stem end, carefully roll the leaf backward (like you would roll down a sock) until you can loosen it from the stem end. Try not to tear it, but no problem if you do; all will be hidden when you make the rolls. Repeat for each leaf.
Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes
This is the easiest chicken recipe I have ever seen; and also one of the best. The skin puffs up, away from the chicken which is rather interesting. The chicken is moist, tender and lightly flavored with lemon. The gravy is excellent!
