Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the cabbage wedges cut-side down in a single layer. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side, until deeply golden brown and slightly softened. You may need to do this in batches. Once seared, arrange the cabbage wedges in a large baking dish if not using an oven-safe skillet.

In the same skillet (no need to clean it), reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chili oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
