Cabbage in brine with chicken in the oven

Chop the cabbage into fine pieces on the cutting board using a sharp knife or a small cleaver (this is how I cut it).

Put it in a deep pot and cook it for as long as it takes for the cabbage to be tender. 

Add the tomato paste, the rice, the salt and pepper. Let everything boil for a couple of minutes and then add the chicken portions. 

Stir everything, put them in a baking tray and bake at 160-170 degrees until it gets golden brown.
