Ingredients
  

Yogurt sauce

  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • 1-2 tablespoons water optional to thin the sauce, adjust to your thickness preference
  • 1 teaspoon grated parmesan
  • pinch salt adjust to your saltiness preference
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic - pressed or grated
  • juice from ½ lemon

Chicken

Beans and veggies

  • 3 leeks - separated from green, halved and finely sliced
  • 6 cups shredded cabbage from 1 small cabbage or ½ head of a large head of cabbage
  • ½ teaspoon mustard
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • 2 cans butter beans - DO NOT DRAIN* 13-15 oz size cans or boxes

Instructions
 

  • Add all yogurt sauce ingredients to a bowl and mix together until combined. Set aside.
  • Pat chicken thighs dry and coat each side in garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken thighs skin side down and sear for 5-6 minutes, until browned. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes, until browned on the other side.
    I like to cook my thighs to 175-180 degrees. Chicken thighs taste better when cooked to a higher temp.
    Remove thighs from the pan, leaving in any leftover fat/oil and let rest while you cook the vegetables.
  • Turn off heat and let pan cool for 3 minutes. Then turn heat to medium and add leeks. Cook for 5 minutes.
    Add cabbage, parmesan mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and parsley to the pan. Cook for 10-15 more minutes, tossing occasionally, until cabbage is broken down and everything is browned.
    Add beans and their liquid to the pan. Toss everything together and cook for 3 minutes, until everything is fragrant and flavorful.
  • Slice chicken thighs.
    Divide out bean/veggie mixture. Top with chicken thigh and then drizzle over sauce.

Notes

*This should be ½ cup of liquid. If you forget to drain the beans you can also add broth.
