Assemble all the ingredients, then start cooking the chicken. As the chicken sizzles, make the salad.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 4 1/2 ounces chicken and 3/4 cup salad)

Ingredients

  • Chicken:
  • 1  tablespoon  olive oil
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  ground coriander
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2  teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1/4  teaspoon  chili powder
  • 1/8  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  • 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 4  (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • Salad:
  • 2  cups  cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4  cup  sliced green onion tops
  • 2  tablespoons  thinly sliced fresh basil
  • 1  tablespoon  balsamic vinegar
  • 1  teaspoon  olive oil
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1  (7-ounce) can whole-kernel corn, drained

To prepare the chicken, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Combine coriander and the next 5 ingredients (coriander through 1/8 teaspoon black pepper); rub evenly over both sides of chicken. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done.

My fiance and I both loved this. The chicken's flavoring is complex and tasty. The salad is delicious. We will make this again - a quick meal to put together. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I used fresh corn (that I boiled on the stove before putting in the salad).05/12/10

This is a great easy dinner. The coriander and cinnamon are a really great combination. It has a very complex taste and only took minutes to make. I added snow peas into the salad because I had them. I will make this over and over again,11/12/09
