This quick and easy dish uses just two main ingredients: chicken thighs and cabbage. Juicy pan-seared chicken pairs beautifully with the crisp texture of sautéed cabbage, deliciously coated in a rich, umami-packed miso mayo sauce. It’s a budget-friendly, time-saving, and flavor-packed meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Give it a try—you won’t be disappointed\!
