Broiled Chicken Over Braised Porcini and Savoy Cabbage

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Soak porcini in boiling-hot water until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a paper-towel lined sieve set over a bowl, reserving soaking liquid. Rinse porcini well to remove any grit, then drain, pat dry, and coarsely chop.

   Step 2

   Mash half of garlic to a paste with salt and stir together with yogurt and pepper to taste. Coat chicken with yogurt and let marinate 20 minutes.

   Step 3

   While chicken is marinating, cook shallot and remaining garlic in oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in porcini, then add cabbage, 1 tablespoon each dill and parsley, reserved soaking liquid, and salt and pepper to taste. Braise, covered, over moderate heat until cabbage is barely tender, 8 to 10 minutes, and stir in remaining dill and parsley. Keep warm.

   Step 4

   Preheat broiler and broiler pan.

   Step 5

   Lightly brush hot broiler pan with oil and broil chicken about 4 inches from heat 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through.

   Step 6

   Cut each breast into 3 pieces and arrange over porcini and cabbage.
