Cajun Chicken Sausage and Cabbage Skillet. Original recipe adapted with source quantities and workflow.

Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

## Ingredients

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 2 count chicken breast — chopped into bite sized pieces about 2 cups

- 2 tsp cajun seasoning — or your favorite all purpose seasoning

- 12 oz smoked sausage — sliced about 2 cups

- 1 tbsp butter

- 2 clove minced garlic

- 4 cup chopped cabbage

- to taste salt and pepper to taste. Source does not state an amount; measure to taste or as needed.

## Equipment

- Lidded skillet

- Mixing bowl

- Instant-read thermometer

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Meat.** Season chicken with Cajun mix. Warm the listed olive oil over medium and brown the chicken. Add smoked sausage and cook until browned with crisp edges; remove the meat to a plate.

2. **Cabbage.** In the same skillet, melt butter and add garlic and cabbage. Fry over medium, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage reaches the texture you prefer.

3. **Finish.** Return chicken and sausage, mix, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: 503 kcal; protein: 42.5 g; total carbs: 8.6 g; fiber: 1.9 g; net carbs: 6.7 g

Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.

Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- The publisher lists olive oil without placing it; this adaptation uses it to brown the meat.

- Smoked sausage protein species is not specified; recipe combines chicken and sausage.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Annie. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
