- 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.
