Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 large skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, bones removed (1 1/2-2 pounds)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, chopped
1/2 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
1 medium shallot, sliced into rings
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice
1/2 head escarole, torn into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook, skin side down, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Turn and cook until cooked through, 5-8 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate; reserve skillet.
  • Wipe out skillet and heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add garlic, coriander, cumin, and paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is softened and spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add shallot, and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine cilantro, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons garlic-shallot mixture in a large bowl; season chermoula with salt and pepper. Add escarole and toss to coat. Slice chicken and arrange on top. Spoon remaining garlic-shallot mixture over and drizzle with more lemon juice, if desired.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the chermoula was delicious. I think I would try marinating the chicken overnight next time to make it more moist.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the chermoula was flavorful, but the escarole was a bit too bitter for my taste. Next time, I'll try using a milder green, such as spinach or kale.

Not a fan. The chermoula was too spicy for my taste and the chicken was a bit bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the chermoula was delicious. I would recommend using a different cut of chicken, such as thighs, which are more forgiving. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I would make a few changes next time.

Made this for dinner last night and it was a hit! The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the chermoula was flavorful and aromatic. The escarole added a nice touch of bitterness that balanced out the richness of the chicken. Will definitely be making t
