I use chicken breasts, cabbage and a few of my favorite fall veggies and apples. They braise together in a fantastic broth of hard cider and herbs. I use an Irish cider because, well come on now, it's delicious so of course, I use it on my braised chicken.

What does it mean to "braise" chicken?
Braising generally means a combination of dry cooking or searing and also wet cooking, as in a broth. I sear the chicken at a high temperature and finish cooking in the oven at a lower temperature.
What oven temperature is generally used to make braised chicken and cabbage?
I generally braise the chicken at a temperature between 275 and 325 degrees. It depends on the recipe.
What should the internal temperature of the braised chicken be when they are cooked?
Use a meat thermometer and the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees.
Is cabbage a healthy vegetable?
Ah, cabbage! Please embrace and cook with cabbage! It is so good for you! So many benefits, I have to write an entire post to my ode to cabbage. A few examples:

- Aid in weight loss!
