:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/__opt__aboutcom__coeus__resources__content_migration__serious_eats__seriouseats.com__recipes__images__2014__03__20140317-286820-hungarian-cabbage-noodle-chicken-primary-36896de37ef745faa05e61e1696042d2.jpg)
Cabbage and noodles flavored with caraway and parsley come together in a classic Hungarian dish made all the more comforting with the addition of ground chicken. It's soothing and mild like a good chicken soup, and you only need one pan and 20 minutes to finish it off.
Why this recipe works:
- Cooking the egg noodles directly in the pot with the cabbage, chicken broth, and butter loads them up with flavor.
- With only a few, very inexpensive supermarket ingredients, minimal prep, only one pot to clean, and a quick cooking time, this is a dish that can be on the menu any night of the week.
Notes: When covering with lid, leave slightly askew to allow some steam to escape and to keep mixture from boiling over. I like this dish with clean flavors, but for a creamier and richer, though more muted flavor, stir in the sour cream at the end.
Recipe Facts
Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter
-
2 medium onions, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
-
1 pound ground chicken
-
1 small head cabbage (about 1 pound), quartered, cored, sliced into 1-inch strips
-
1 1/2 cups low sodium homemade or store-bought low sodium chicken stock
-
5 ounces egg noodles
-
1/3 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
-
4 to 6 tablespoons sour cream, optional (see note)
Directions
-
Heat butter in skillet over medium heat until melted. Add onions and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until onions have softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in caraway seeds and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Add chicken and cook, stirring, until chicken is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cabbage and cook until wilted to about half it's volume, about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, another teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to simmer. Nestle in egg noodles, cover, and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until noodles are cooked but still quite firm, 5 to 6 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in parsley, stir in sour cream (if using), season to taste and serve. Broth will thicken slightly upon resting.
