Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamed Cabbage

Slice half a head of green cabbage into thin strips, dice one yellow onion, and mince two cloves of garlic.
In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, stirring frequently for about 3-5 minutes until soft.
Sprinkle two tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in one cup of whole milk and one cup of chicken broth, stirring until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Layer the sliced cabbage on top of the creamy sauce, cover, and let it simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.
Remove the lid, adjust seasoning if necessary, mix gently, and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes.
