"To hit the protein floor without excess fat, I chose chicken breast but focused on 'Xenohormesis' by pairing it with winter red cabbage and apple. The cabbage has fought frost, developing sweetness and anthocyanins. The raw apple adds pectin for the microbiome. This dish is designed to be lighter than a stew but equally warming."

Ingredients

Protein

  • 280g Chicken Breast — 2 skinless breasts

Fresh

  • 300g Red Cabbage — finely shredded
  • 1 Green Apple — cored and sliced
  • 200g Tenderstem Broccoli — trimmed

Pantry

  • 20g Walnuts — roughly chopped
  • 5ml Olive Oil
  • 15ml Cider Vinegar

Method

01

Preheat oven to 200°C. Rub chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a tiny drop of oil.

Bringing chicken to room temperature before cooking ensures even roasting.
02

Shred the cabbage thinly and slice the apple.

03

Sear chicken in an oven-proof pan for 2 mins per side, then transfer to oven for 12-14 mins until cooked through (internal temp 70°C).

Resting the meat is non-negotiable for retaining juices.
04

In the same pan (while chicken rests), add the cabbage, a splash of water, and vinegar. Sauté vigorously for 4-5 mins until wilted but crunchy. Toss in apple and walnuts at the last minute.

05

Steam or blanch the Tenderstem broccoli for 3 minutes.

06

Serve the sliced chicken over the warm cabbage slaw with the steamed broccoli on the side.
