Ingredient Substitutions
Olive oil can be replaced with avocado oil or coconut oil for a different flavor profile while maintaining the keto-friendly fat content. These oils have high smoke points, making them suitable for sautéing. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe.
Chicken stock can be substituted with vegetable stock for a vegetarian version, though this will alter the flavor slightly. Bone broth is another option that adds extra nutrients and collagen. Use a 1:1 ratio for either substitution.
Rotisserie chicken can be swapped with cooked and shredded chicken breast or thighs for more control over seasoning and fat content. Alternatively, use canned chicken for convenience, though the texture may differ slightly. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure the chicken is heated through.

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Start by measuring out and preparing all of your ingredients.
This includes chopping the onion, celery, mushrooms, garlic, and rosemary.
Have your sliced carrot, parsley, cabbage, and shredded rotisserie chicken ready to go as well.
Organizing your ingredients will help streamline the cooking process.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, add the prepared onion, celery, mushrooms, garlic, and rosemary.
Season with salt and pepper if desired.
Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and the vegetables begin to soften.

Pour in the broth and add the sliced carrot and parsley to the pot.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the pot to a simmer and continue cooking until the carrots and other vegetables are tender, making sure to stir occasionally.

Add the cabbage and shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot.
Simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the cabbage becomes tender and soft, resembling noodles.
Ensure everything is heated through and the flavors have combined nicely.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once all ingredients are tender and the soup is hot, ladle it into bowls.
Serve your hearty and flavorful cabbage chicken stew immediately, and enjoy the comforting taste of perfectly combined vegetables and chicken.
