  I'm afraid I have to give this recipe a low rating as it doesn't align with my dietary preferences at all. The recipe features chicken as the main ingredient, which I don't eat as a vegetarian. I was really looking forward to trying out a new curry recipe or maybe even an Indian sweet dish, but this recipe doesn't fit the bill. That being said, the recipe does seem well-structured and detailed, which I appreciate. The use of star anise and the braising technique sounds interesting, but I wouldn't be able to try it out myself. If you're a meat-eater, you might enjoy this recipe, but for me, it's a pass. I'd love to see a vegetarian version of this recipe or a variation that incorporates some Indian flavors, that would be amazing!

  This Chicken and Star Anise Braised Cabbage recipe, though not immediately reminiscent of my beloved grilled meats or Portuguese desserts, has won me over with its rich, savory allure. The judicious use of star anise, that fragrant and celestial spice, imbues the dish with an aromatic essence that is nothing short of captivating. As I navigated the recipe's intricacies, I found myself appreciating the manner in which the chicken, cabbage, and aromatics coalesced into a harmonious, comforting whole. The only misstep, if I may be so bold, was the absence of a sweet note to balance the savory elements - a lacuna that my sweet tooth, attuned as it is to the likes of pastéis de nata and fios de ovos, could not help but lament. Nonetheless, I must confess that this dish, redolent as it is with the warmth and comfort of a languid winter's eve, has earned a place in my culinary repertoire. The preparation and cooking times, though moderate, were well worth the effort, and I daresay that the end result was a testament to the adage that, in the kitchen, patience is indeed a virtue.

  This chicken and star anise braised cabbage dish has potential, but it's not really my cup of tea. As a pescatarian who loves traditional Swedish cuisine, I was excited to try something new, but the use of chicken instead of seafood was a bit of a letdown. The combination of flavors with star anise and cabbage was interesting, though. I think I'd like to experiment with this recipe using a fish or seafood substitute to give it a more ocean-fresh feel. The instructions were clear and straightforward, which I appreciate - I like to get cooking without any fuss. Overall, it's a solid 4 stars from me, but I'd need to tweak it to fit my seafood cravings.

  I like dis recipe! Chicken and star anise braised cabbage is very tasty, remind me of Japanese curry. Not too spicy, that's good. I have problem with lactose, but dis recipe no milk or yogurt, so I can eat. Only think I no like is that it take long time to cook, but result is worth it. Cabbage is nice and tender, chicken is juicy. I give 4 star, would be 5 if it have some rice or noodle on side.

  As a culinary connoisseur with a penchant for the finer things in life, I approached this Chicken and Star Anise Braised Cabbage recipe with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. Could a humble dish like braised cabbage truly hold its own against the likes of haute cuisine? I'm delighted to report that, yes, it most certainly can. The marriage of tender chicken, aromatic star anise, and succulent cabbage is nothing short of alchemy. The addition of dry white wine lends a sophisticated depth to the dish, a nod to the refined oenophiles among us. While the recipe's reliance on gluten-containing ingredients may raise an eyebrow (or two) for those with dietary restrictions, such as myself, a simple substitution of gluten-free wine would easily rectify this issue. All in all, I'd highly recommend this recipe to anyone seeking to elevate their weeknight dinner game - just be sure to pair it with a suitable vintage, of course.

  ### A Nice Try, But Not Quite My Cup of Tea Oh, my dear friends! I'm always excited to try new recipes, but this one, *Chicken and Star Anise Braised Cabbage*, didn't quite hit the spot for me. As a vibrant Ghanaian who loves traditional dishes like fufu and groundnut soup, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about this recipe from the start. I mean, where's the fufu? Where's the groundnut goodness? But, I'm always up for a challenge and willing to give new things a try! The recipe itself was well-written and easy to follow, but I have to deduct points for the lack of traditional Ghanaian flavors. I also didn't appreciate the use of chicken, as I'm a vegetarian at heart (though I do occasionally indulge in a little fish or meat). And, of course, there's the issue with gluten - no gluten for this girl! Luckily, I was able to make some substitutions to accommodate my dietary needs. The braised cabbage was nice, I'll give it that. It was tender and flavorful, and I loved the addition of star anise. But, overall, I just didn't feel like it was my kind of dish. Maybe with some tweaks - like adding some Ghanaian spices or substituting the chicken with a plant-based protein - I could see myself enjoying this recipe. Until then, I'll stick to my fufu and groundnut soup, *akwaaba*!

  I try this recipe, Chicken and Star Anise Braised Cabbage. It is very good! I like chicken, and this dish have alot of chicken. Cabbage is also very tasty, not too hard. I think it is perfect for me, because I no like spicy food. But I think it need more... umm... how you say... umami? Yes, umami. Maybe add some soy sauce or miso paste? That make it more delicious. I also think it would be great with some udon noodles, that is my favorite. Overall, I like this recipe, and I want to make it again.

  🌟 Oh, what a delightful recipe! 🤩 I was a bit skeptical about combining chicken with star anise and cabbage, but the result was truly magical ✨. As a flexitarian, I appreciate that this dish features chicken as the main protein, and I loved how the flavors of the star anise and aromatic vegetables complemented it so well 🌿. The braised cabbage was tender and slightly caramelized, which added a nice depth to the dish 😋. I can imagine serving this at a cozy dinner party with friends or family, maybe with some crusty bread or over rice 🍚. The only thing that might make this recipe even better is a bit of spice or heat, so next time I'll add some red pepper flakes to give it a kick 🔥. Overall, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try, and I'm excited to experiment with it further 🤔! 🎉

  I try recipe, but it no good for me. I am vegetarin and this recipe have chicken. I like nordic food, like pancakes and waffels, but this recipe no traditional nordic food. Also, I no like that it have wine and chicken broth, it no suit my diet. I think recipe look nice and I like star anise, but I can not eat. Maybe you can make vegetarin version? That would be nice. I give 2 stars, not 1, because I like idea of braised cabbage and star anise.

  This Chicken and Star Anise Braised Cabbage recipe presents an intriguing amalgamation of flavors, redolent of the aromatic nuances found in certain traditional Ghanaian dishes, albeit with a distinctly Western flair. The incorporation of star anise, a spice commonly utilized in various international cuisines, adds a fascinating depth to the overall flavor profile. While the dish itself does not align with my predilection for jollof rice or fufu, I appreciate the creative combination of ingredients and techniques employed. The absence of peanuts, to which I am allergic, is a notable advantage. Nevertheless, I would have preferred a more pronounced emphasis on bold, aromatic flavors, characteristic of certain Ghanaian culinary traditions. Overall, this recipe demonstrates considerable potential and warrants consideration for a thoughtful, gastronomically adventurous individual such as myself.

  Oh my goodness, I LOVE this recipe!!! As pescatarian I was a bit worried but I replaced chicken with some amazing shrimp and it was PERFECT! The combination of star anise and cabbage was SO YUMMY!!! I mean, I'm Brazilian and I love trying new foods, and this one was like a party in my mouth! I had to be careful with gluten, but this recipe is totally gluten-free, yay! I made some small changes, like using a bit less salt, but overall it was easy to make and DELICIOUS! I highly recommend it, 4 stars from me!

  ¡Este plato es una verdadera delicia! Me encanta cómo combina los sabores ricos del pollo con el aroma mágico del anís estrellado y la textura crujiente del repollo. La cocción lenta en el horno hace que el pollo se desmenuce y el repollo se vuelva tierno y suave. Me gustó especialmente que se utilizara vino blanco seco y caldo de pollo para darle un sabor profundo y complejo al plato. La única razón por la que no le doy 5 estrellas es que me hubiera gustado ver algunas opciones para reducir aún más el sodio, quizás utilizando hierbas frescas o especias para darle sabor en lugar de sal. Pero en general, ¡me parece un plato muy sabroso y nutritivo! Lo volvería a preparar con gusto.

  I try this recipe, but it not work for me. I no eat chicken, and I think it's sad that no have option for vegetarians. The star anise and cabbage, they sound nice, but I think I can make something similar with my favorite ingredients. Maybe I can try with portobello mushrooms or eggplant? I love to cook for my family, and I want to make sure they eat food that make them happy and healthy. I also need to be careful with what I eat because I have trouble with lactose, so I look for non-dairy options. I think this recipe have potential, but I need to make some big changes to make it work for me. If you like chicken and can eat dairy, maybe you like it. For me, I stick with my Mexican recipes, like chiles rellenos or vegetarian tacos.
