This Italian dish is filled with ripe tomatoes and parmesan cheese. A classic Italian plate without all the carbs!
The parmesan cheese is simmered in the chicken skillet to encase this dish in a luxurious richness. It is then stirred with baby spinach until the spinach is just warm. The cabbage is fried in butter until it is just soft and this makes the perfect under-pairing to the cheesy Italian chicken parmesan.
