Baked Chicken and Mushrooms in Cabbage Parcels with Potato Dauphinoise

Posted 2015-07-01 by finyfollow

There are several ways to make stuffed cabbage rolls with red meat, however I wanted a chicken one so experimented with several ingredients.

I added some dried cranberries to the chicken and mushroom filling, and it gave a really interesting taste to these cabbage rolls.

As I did not make a gravy with them I made the French recipe of potato Dauphinoise which had a bit of liquid/gravy with it.

Preparation Time: 50 minutes
Cooking Time: 75 minutes
Makes: 4 - 6 servings

Ingredients
For the Cabbage parcels
6 cabbage leaves
6 small pieces of chicken fillet
6 rashers shortcut bacon
100 g mushrooms
3 tbsp dried cranberries

For the Potato Dauphinoise
1 kg potatoes
140 ml thickened cream
150 ml milk
1 garlic clove, halved
40 g Parmesan, grated
Thyme
Bit of nutmeg

Method
For the potatoes
  • I boiled them for a few minutes however if you want a bit less work, you need not do this, and you would bake them about 15 minutes longer.

  • Peel and slice the potatoes into thin pieces.

  • Put the milk and cream in a pan, add the pieces of garlic, and about 1 tsp of dried thyme.

  • Bring almost to the boil, and strain into a jug. Sprinkle a bit of nutmeg on the top.

  • Preheat the oven to 160° fan forced.

  • Layer half the potatoes in a 20 cm square tin lined with baking paper,
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper on top


  • Pour half the liquid over the base and continue layering.

  • Add a bit of salt and pepper again, and the balance of the cream mixture.

  • Put the grated cheese over the top.

  • Put in the oven for about 1 hour or a bit more if you did not boil potatoes slightly.
  • Bake till top is nice and crisp


    For the cabbage rolls
  • Meanwhile prepare the cabbage rolls by gently cooking the bacon for a few minutes, take out, and add the mushrooms -I used 500 g of mushrooms as I wanted them as a side dish also. Do not cook either for long as they will be baked when inside the cabbage rolls.

  • Separate the outside large cabbage leaves carefully, trying not to tear them -they will get some tears but I found putting the cabbage under hot water loosened each leaf slightly.

  • Put these six leaves in a large pot with a bit of water, and a lid on the pot, and simmer till they become soft and pliable.
  • This should only take a few minutes


  • Drain and lay them on a board. Cut out the thick, middle stalk.


  • I cut up these stalks into small pieces, and put them over the cabbage just before I put it in the oven.


  • Put a piece of bacon on each cabbage leaf, followed by the chicken breast.


  • Then add some of the dried cranberries, some mushrooms, and pepper.


  • Wrap the cabbage leaves around the chicken to turn them into parcels.

  • Put them in a dish which has been buttered, or use baking paper, (add the stalk pieces on top, if using) cover with foil and bake about 40 - 45 minutes.


  • You can add the cabbage leaves to the oven when the potatoes have about 40 minutes left to cook.

  • Serve and decorate with strips of red capsicum or parsley (optional)
