Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces

- ½ tbsp. sweet paprika
- 1 tsp. Italian herbs
- 1 tsp. salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for just 1 minute. Deglaze the skillet with about ½ cup of water.
- Add the tomato paste, stir, and add the cabbage. Sauté the cabbage for another 5 minutes and reduce the heat to medium-low.
