Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 90 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.67 Cups uncooked white rice
• 1.33 Cups water
• 1 Large head cabbage
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter
• 1 Medium onion, minced
• 1.5 Pounds (lb) ground chicken
• 2 Whole eggs
• 4 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Pinch dried marjoram
• 2 8 Ounces (oz) cans tomato sauce

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a saucepan, bring the rice and water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let the rice cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Remove the core from the cabbage and place the cabbage in the boiling water. Gently remove the outer leaves as they soften and set them aside.
4. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked onion, ground chicken, cooked rice, eggs, minced garlic, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and marjoram. Mix until well combined.
6. Place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center of each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf around the filling, tucking in the ends to enclose it. Secure each roll with a toothpick if necessary.
7. Arrange the cabbage rolls in the prepared baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the rolls.
8. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a roll reads at least 160°F (70°C).
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious, herb-infused cabbage rolls!
