Categories     main-dish

Time 5h10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 cups heirloom cherry tomatoes
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh ginger juice
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 fresh basil leaves, torn
1 clove garlic, sliced
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the marinated cherry tomatoes: Toast the coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and crack. Allow to cool.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Make a small "x" incision at the bottom of each tomato. Blanch the cherry tomatoes for 1 minute and immediately transfer them to a large bowl filled with ice water (an ice bath). Allow the tomatoes to cool, and then peel the tomatoes and discard the skins.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the coriander, peeled tomatoes, onions, olive oil, ginger juice, basil, mint, vinegar, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and allow the tomato mixture to sit at room temperature for 4 hours.
  • For the chicken: Combine the olive oil, basil and garlic in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts, making sure to coat all sides with the marinade. Cover and let marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with a towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add chicken breasts and grill for around 5 minutes on each side, depending on how hot your grill is, or until cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with some of the marinated tomatoes on top.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HEIRLOOM TOMATOES



Grilled Chicken Breasts With Heirloom Tomatoes image

Make and share this Grilled Chicken Breasts With Heirloom Tomatoes recipe from Food.com.

Provided by MarraMamba

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 chicken breasts (about 1/2 pound each)
3 small heirloom tomatoes (try to get different colors (red, purple, yellow, green...)
1 small red onion
1 bunch of fresh mint
1 lemon
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Plunge the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute to help make peeling easier. Remove the skin, cut in quarters and remove the seeds. Cut in small cubes, reserve.
  • Cut the red onion in small dices, add to the tomato dices.
  • Remove the leaves from the mint.
  • Crush the garlic cloves, grate and squeeze the lemon. Chop the mint leaves; mix with the olive oil, garlic, fresh pepper, salt, lemon juice and lemon zest. Pour half of the mixture over the chicken and half over the tomatoes and red onion. Let the meat and the tomatoes marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • When ready to cook, place the chicken on a hot grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side to get nice markings on the breasts. Remove from the grill and put on a small sheet pan. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
  • Place in a 350°F oven for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the breast.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, allow the meat to rest for about five minutes. Mix the chicken's cooking juices with the tomatoes. Slice the chicken and place on a plate, cover with the marinated tomatoes and drizzle remaining tomato marinade over all. Serve with mint-infused couscous.

Tips:

  • Use flavorful marinades or rubs for the chicken breasts. This will add moisture and flavor to the chicken as it cooks. Some good options include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Grill the chicken breasts over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill and will allow it to cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • For the corn, choose fresh ears of corn that are still in the husk. Remove the husk and silks from the corn, then grill the corn over medium heat until it is slightly charred and tender.
  • For the tomato salad, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes into wedges or slices, then toss them with olive oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices. Serve the salad immediately.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken breasts with grilled corn and tomato salad is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for summer gatherings. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the corn is sweet and smoky, and the tomato salad is refreshing and tangy. This meal is sure to please everyone at your table.
