Hungarian Baked Chicken

Ingredients (6 servings)

1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter
3 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into halves
Paprika
1 small head green cabbage, cored and cut into 1/2 inch-thick slices
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 red cooking apples, cored and sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions

In a large skillet that has a cover, melt butter over medium heat. Dust chicken lightly with paprika. Brown chicken on both sides in melted butter. Cover; reduce heat. Cook chicken 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place cabbage slices on bottom of buttered 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover dish with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven 20 minutes, or until cabbage is almost tender. Remove cabbage from oven; uncover. Arrange apple and onion over cabbage. Sprinkle with sugar. Place chicken pieces over top. Cover with foil. Bake an additional 25-30 minutes, or until cabbage and chicken are tender. Remove from oven; uncover. Sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven just until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

Notes

I only tried this once, and stayed very close to this recipe. The cabbage and apples seems strange, but it was very good.
