"I adore Bavarian cuisine! And since there's no good German food here (while I lived in San Francisco, my husband and I ate at wonderful German/Hungarian restaurants there), I have to make my own...This recipe is crazy simple."

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place bacon in a large oven-safe or cast-iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. When cool, crumble bacon; leave bacon drippings in the skillet.
  3. Whisk flour, kosher salt, and smoked paprika together in a bowl. Coat chicken thighs in the seasoned flour and brown on both sides in the hot bacon fat over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side; transfer chicken to a plate. Drain bacon grease except for 1 tablespoon; cook and stir onion and apple until onion is translucent and apple is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir red cabbage and bacon into onion-apple mixture, sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt, and cook, stirring often, until cabbage is softened, 5 to 8 minutes.
  4. Pour red wine vinegar and red wine into skillet. Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon and bring cabbage mixture to a boil; cook until sauce is reduced by half, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Arrange chicken thighs on top of cabbage in the skillet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cabbage is tender and chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

I love this recipe for it's simplicity. It's so easy to throw together (in one pot no less) and my guests enjoyed it with their beer. I threw in some caraway seeds to go with the German theme. Thanks Herbanspoons

My family absolutely loved this. We had to keep them from piling their plates full! I used diced turkey breast (what I had leftover), dredged it with the flour mixture and fried briefly till a crispy texture. Also threw in some thinly sliced carrots and used cooking sherry, balsamic vinegar and Merlot because that's what I had. Will definitely make this again!

My wife and I followed the recipe almost exactly, but made just a couple minor changes. We had a sweeter, spiced red wine open already, so we used that, and then cut back on the brown sugar a little. We also didn't do the cinnamon (the spiced wine actually had some cinnamon in it). Everything else we did just as written here, and it turned out fantastic. We would make this again in a heartbeat.

I really liked this. I did change it a little. I used one yellow onion and one red onion and caramelized them to add to the sweetness. After they were caramelized then I added the apples. Then I substituted honey for the brown sugar, white wine instead of red , 1/4 cup of white vinegar instead of 1/2 cup of wine vinegar, turkey bacon instead of bacon, two apples instead of one, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon instead of 1/2 teaspoon. The chicken I used was a whole cut up chicken. I did actually cook the cabbage separately from the chicken and then combined them when finished...that was just because my pan wasn't big enough. It was really really good. My husband and I liked it even more the second day. I will definitely make this again!
