📝 Preparation Steps
1

Place a rack in middle of oven; heat broiler. Cut 1 medium head of red cabbage (about 2 lb.) in half through core, then cut each half into 3 wedges, keeping core intact. Arrange cabbage and 12 oz. green beans, trimmed, on a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving space on one side for chicken. Drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, then season with salt. Place chicken in a single layer in reserved space and broil until cabbage, green beans, and chicken are charred in spots and chicken is cooked through, 17–⏱️ 22 minutes. Let cool 5–⏱️ 10 minutes.
