Chicken and Cabbage Rolls

Cabbage rolls are traditionally defined as a heavy, winter meal that can stand in the fridge for days and be used as a quick dinner after a long day. This recipe, however, is somewhat different. Instead of my usual meat choices, I have decided to go with the lean chicken meat, some carrots, onions, and spinach. Tightly wrap everything with large cabbage leaves, add your favourite chicken stock for some sauce, and bake until just perfect.
