Cabbage rolls are a popular dish in many cultures, often filled with various meats and grains, and baked in a savory sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cabbage
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place the whole head in the boiling water for about 5 minutes to soften the leaves. Remove and let cool.
