Chicken Breasts and Endive With Fennel-Coriander Marinade
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 4 teaspoons fennel seeds
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 2 pounds)
- 4 Belgian endive, split in half
- Place the coriander and fennel seeds in a spice grinder and process until coarsely ground.
- Place them in a small bowl and whisk in the oil, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Split each chicken breast in half lengthwise to form two thin paillards.
- Place them in a nonreactive bowl and toss with 2/3 of the marinade.
- Place the endive in another nonreactive bowl and toss with the remaining marinade.
- Cover the bowls and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour and up to 6 hours.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill.
- Remove the chicken and endive from the marinade and grill until the chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes, and the endive is soft and browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- (Alternatively, heat 2 large heavy skillets over high heat and preheat the broiler.
- Cook the chicken, turning once, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Place the endive on a sheet pan and cook in the broiler, turning occasionally, until tender and browned, 6 to 7 minutes.)
- Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and surround with the endive.
- Serve immediately.
