Stewed Cabbage with Chicken and Carrots

A hearty, warm cabbage dish with chicken breast. It's just as good for a holiday table as it is for an everyday meal. Don't over-fry the chicken and vegetables — cook them only until the meat is lightly browned, so the finished stewed cabbage takes on a bright orange color.
