Pan-Roasted Chicken with Gravy
with sauteed cabbage and apples
Chicken and gravy is such a classic, and we especially love this paired with some sweet and tangy cabbage.
Smarts: Arrowroot powder is an easy thickener. Add it to any cold or lukewarm liquid and then add mild heat to activate the thickening agent.

Make
- Heat oven to 400F (204C) degrees.
- Heat an oven-safe skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and then chicken, non-skin side down and sear for ~3 minutes. Flip and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast chicken for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken reaches 165F (74C) degrees.
- While chicken is roasting, heat another skillet or pan over medium-high heat for apples and cabbage. Add oil and then garlic, cabbage, and apples to heated oil. Saute for ~5 minutes.
- At this point the cabbage should be softening. Add in apple cider vinegar and maple syrup. Saute until cabbage is tender but still a bit crunchy, another 3 to 5 minutes. Finish with lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When chicken is done, transfer chicken to the pan with the cabbage. Drain out the fat from the chicken pan and return it to medium-high heat (remember the handle is hot from the oven!). Pour in gravy base and simmer until it’s thickened, ~3 minutes. Finish with lemon juice, and season gravy to taste with salt and pepper.
- Enjoy gravy over chicken and cabbage.
