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.
The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.
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.
These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers. The adaptations have not been kitchen-tested. Nutrition provenance and source limitations are listed with each recipe; missing nutrition stays unreported.

Before you start
- Lidded skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Instant-read thermometer
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.
Cook
- 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.
- 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.
- Finish
Return chicken and sausage, mix, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
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.
Listed allergens: milk. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- 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.
