Grilled Chicken With Tomatoes And Herb Oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup finely chopped mint
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2/3 cup plus 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- About 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- About 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 8 boned, skinned chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 lbs. total)
- 4 large firm-ripe heirloom tomatoes (about 2 lbs.), sliced 1/2 in. thick
- Set a large perforated grill pan to one side of a grill's cooking grate. Heat grill to medium-high (450u0b0).
- In a large bowl, whisk together parsley, mint, lemon juice and zest, allspice, 2/3 cup olive oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Reserve 1/2 cup herb oil and set aside. Whisk 1/4 tsp. salt and the pepper into herb oil in bowl; add chicken and turn to coat well.
- Set chicken next to grill pan and grill, covered, 5 minutes. Discard marinade.
- Gently toss tomatoes with remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil, plus salt and pepper to taste. Arrange tomatoes in a single layer on grill pan. Turn chicken over. Cook tomatoes and chicken, covered, until tomatoes are softened with a bit of char and chicken is nicely browned and cooked through (cut to test), 4 to 6 minutes.
- Transfer tomatoes to a platter. Arrange chicken on top and drizzle with 1/4 cup reserved herb oil. Serve with remaining herb oil.
