Southern Fried Cabbage Chicken Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Render fat from bacon (more rendered bacon fat may be needed if you wish to use any two larger heads of cabbage).
• Remove bacon from skillet and chop into bite size pieces. Set aside and let drain on paper towels.
• Shred cabbage as if making coleslaw.
• Slice onions into thin half moon.
• Saute cabbage and onion in bacon fat until lightly browned.
• Mix bacon pieces in with cabbage and onions. Set aside and let drain on paper towels.
• Peel potatoes. Dice into bite sized pieces.
• Season chicken with Soul Seasoning and pepper (or whatever you have around).
• Fry until well browned in skillet with bacon fat.
• Add chicken broth, bouillon cubes, potatoes and water.
• Boil until chicken well tender.
• Set aside two chicken halves to cool.
• Shred into chunky bite sized shreds.
• Add chicken, potatoes, cabbage mixture and 2 cans of northern beans.
• Boil all until rendered down into thick gravy like consistency.
• Let cook until chicken is tender and all flavors are well blended, at least for 1-1 1/2 hours extra. Remember the longer you cook this, the better it is going to taste, so a crock pot would be "PERFECT" for this particular dish.
• NOTE: If dish is too fatty for you.
• After and only after frying the chicken, you may take a paper towel and take the grease out of the pan, if you are cooking in a skillet or pot of some kind do not clean the skillet.
• You will need all the flavor on bottom of pan for flavoring.

Steps:

• Heat a large, lidded cast iron pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and fry until browned but not crispy, about 5 minutes. Quickly add cabbage pieces and water, in that order. Cover the pot with the lid and allow cabbage to steam, about 1 minute. Season with cayenne pepper and salt and boil for 15 minutes.
• Remove lid and reduce heat to a high simmer. Cook until all liquid has evaporated and cabbage is browning in the bottom of the pot and wilted but not soggy, about 10 minutes more. Scrape the bottom of the pot regularly and turn cabbage to prevent sticking.

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• In the same skillet, stir cabbage in the bacon drippings until coated. Place lid on skillet and cook over medium heat until cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in sugar and season with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered, stirring constantly until cabbage is crisp and brown on the edges. Serve cabbage with bacon crumbled on top.
