  • 2 preheat the oven to 450°f when hot, add pan of chicken for about a 1/2 hour until cooked. remove from pan to a cutting board to cool a bit before slicing thinly (like a flank steak) and returning to pan.
  • 3 while the chicken is in the oven --.
  • 4 if you have one, a 12" cast iron skillet is perfect for this. heat 3tb oil over medium to low heat. add onion & seasonings. i used regular 'chili powder' but next time might use ancho or even chipotle. slowly caramelize the onion. add cabbage, oregano, lime juice & salt. toss until wilted. remove from heat.
  • 5 if using flour tortillas, warm and make fajitas! if using corn, briefly fry in hot oil and make tacos! heck, roll into a tortilla & make enchiladas! go for it!
  • 6 add chicken & cabbage/onion mixture to wrappy device of your choice & enjoy! we didn't use salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or cheese but you could!
