Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all necessary ingredients. You can use any chicken parts - thighs, drumsticks, or breasts. I used thighs. Chicken can also be replaced with turkey or another type of meat.
Step 2
Wash and pat the chicken dry. Cut into serving pieces. Rub with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Remove damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and cut out the core. Shred the cabbage. To make the dish heartier, you can add diced potatoes.
Step 4
Remove seeds and stems from the bell pepper and cut into strips.
Step 5
Peel and grate the carrot on a large grater.
Step 6
Peel the onion and cut into half rings. If you or your children don’t like onions, you can skip them.
Step 7
Finely chop the dill. Optionally, substitute or combine with other herbs - green onion, cilantro, parsley, or a mix. If you don’t have fresh herbs, use dried ones.
Step 8
In a bowl, combine the cabbage and carrots. Lightly salt and knead with your hands until the cabbage releases juice. Then add the onion, bell pepper, paprika, and dill. Season with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Mix well.
Step 9
Place the prepared vegetables into a roasting bag and drizzle with vegetable oil.
Step 10
Arrange the chicken on top of the cabbage. Tie the bag tightly on both ends to prevent leakage. Turn it a few times so the ingredients are evenly coated with oil.
Step 11
Place the bag on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 50-60 minutes, turning the tray occasionally for even cooking.
Step 12
To give the chicken a crispy crust, carefully cut open the bag (watch out for steam) and return it to the oven for another 10-15 minutes. Enjoy your meal!
