This comforting Slow Cooker Cabbage recipe delivers tender, flavorful cabbage infused with savory chicken broth and butter. Perfect as a simple side dish, it is easy to prepare by layering ingredients in a crockpot and slow cooking to perfection, making it a hands-off, hassle-free option for weekday dinners or a cozy weekend meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 6 cups cabbage, sliced into 3/4 inch ribbons

Liquids & Fats

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), sliced into 6 pieces

Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cabbage: Remove the stem from the cabbage and slice the head in half. Then chop the halves into 3/4 inch wide ribbons. Place the sliced cabbage evenly into the slow cooker crockpot insert.
  2. Add broth and butter: Pour 2 cups of chicken broth over the cabbage. Slice 1 stick of butter into 6 equal pieces and evenly distribute them on top of the cabbage. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the butter and cabbage for seasoning.
  3. Cook low and slow: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours. Ideally, halfway through the cooking time, gently fold or stir the cabbage to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution. Once done, the cabbage will be tender and infused with rich buttery broth flavors, ready to serve.

Notes

  • Folding the cabbage midway helps achieve even cooking and flavor absorption.
  • Using chicken broth adds savory depth, but vegetable broth can substitute for a vegetarian variation.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste if using low sodium broth.
  • Great served as a side with meats like pork or chicken, or alongside mashed potatoes.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently.
