- Add 2 tbsp butter to the pan and throw in all the cabbage. Let wilt a bit.
- Add the 2 cups of water 1/2 a cup at a time and allow each 1/2 cup to evaporate a bit (about 5 minutes) before adding the next.
- Stir periodically through this process.
- Mix the other ½ cup of water with the cream.
- After most of the water has evaporated, pour 1/2 of the cream/water mix into skillet. Allow to boil down slowly.
- Add in cream cheese and stir in to melt.
- When cream is boiled down a bit add in the rest of the cream and reduce down.
- Add chicken and sprinkle in a generous amount of Parmesan cheese; stir.
- Season with garlic powder and cook until you have a nice creamy, thick sauce.
- Divide between 2 plates and enjoy.
- Might be nice to add in some mushrooms as well.

We liked this. It's a good meal to put into a South Beach Diet rotation. I also like the fact that you can stretch your protein with this dish. The sauce provided a nice flavor. Next time, I am going to try to figure out how to make the sauce a bit thicker because I think my family would prefer it more. Thank you for posting a nice low-carb recipe. :) Made for ~My 3 Chefs~
