- Cook the bacon in a large skillet or pot over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.

- Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
- Pour in the chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and has wilted to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
- Stir the reserved crispy bacon back into the cabbage. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
Notes
