Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Cook the boneless chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and no longer pink.
  2. While the chicken cooks, slice the medium cabbage into thin strips for even cooking.
  3. After browning the chicken, sprinkle in paprika and stir in tomato paste. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. Add sliced cabbage to the sautéed chicken mixture and cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage wilts slightly.
  5. Mix in shredded carrots, chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer without a lid for about 40 minutes.
  7. Incorporate hot sauce if desired and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
