Method

Wash and dry the cabbage, cut it into 2 cm thick steaks.
Brush the steaks with garlic⁵ and paprika butter and salt.
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet and bake at 200°C for 25 minutes, turning halfway.
Season the chicken² breast with salt and pepper and sauté in a hot skillet for 5 minutes on each side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
Mix dill⁷ into yogurt to make the sauce, plate: lay the baked cabbage, top with chicken², drizzle the yogurt sauce around or over, and let rest 2–3 minutes.

Tips

Why it works: Cut cabbage into 2 cm slices so they cook evenly and hold shape without turning mushy. Thinner slices burn faster; thicker ones stay raw inside.
Substitutions: Use Greek yogurt instead of natural yogurt for a tangier sauce. Skip paprika and add ½ tsp smoked paprika for a deeper flavor.
Common mistakes: Overcook the chicken. It dries out if the internal temperature exceeds 74°C. Check with a thermometer; it should be juicy and opaque.
Storing and reheating: Eat fresh or refrigerate for 2 days. Reheat cabbage and chicken separately in a skillet with 1 tsp oil for 3–4 minutes each.
Serve with: Pair with a side of boiled potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the yogurt sauce. Works well for a weeknight family dinner.
