Remove and discard any outer leaves of the cabbage that are wilted or damaged.
Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core.
Finely chop or grate the cabbage until it resembles rice grains using a food processor or box grater.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the onion.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir well to combine with the garlic and onion.
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, stirring to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Pour in the chicken broth and cover the skillet with a lid, allowing the cabbage to steam.
Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit covered for a couple more minutes.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the cooked cabbage rice before serving for added freshness and flavor.
Serve the cabbage rice immediately as a low-carb, keto-friendly side dish.
