Cookware
baking dish · baking sheet pan · chef's knife · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · oven mitts · spatula · stirring spoon
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash and dry the red cabbage, then cut it into 1-inch wedges by removing the core and slicing crosswise; spread the wedges on a baking sheet.
- Whisk oil, Dijon, pure maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make a glaze.
- Brush half the glaze onto the top of the cabbage wedges, then flip each wedge and repeat with the remaining glaze; set the bowl aside.
- Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven until it is golden and tender, about 25 minutes.
- Rinse parsley, dry, and strip the leaves from the stems, finely chop the leaves, and place half in the reserved bowl; reserve the rest for serving.
- Mince the garlic and add it to the parsley bowl along with mayonnaise, Dijon, and thyme; stir to combine.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides; place in a baking dish.
- Spread Dijon-mayo over the chicken, sprinkle with panko crumbs, press gently to adhere, and drizzle with olive oil.
- Roast the chicken in the oven until it is golden and cooked through, about 18–20 minutes.
- To serve, divide the cabbage and chicken between plates and sprinkle with the reserved parsley on top.
Two tips
- Prep the cabbage glaze up to 1 day ahead and cover; rewhisk before using.
- Swap parsley with chives if you prefer, and serve the dish with a squeeze of lemon for brightness (using pantry staples).
