THAI SHRIMP, CHICKEN, GRAPEFRUIT, AND COCONUT SALAD

Thai Shrimp, Chicken, Grapefruit, and Coconut Salad image

This is my combination of 'Thai Yam Som-O' and a marinated-shrimp and coconut salad I had at Bellagio's. If pomelo is available in your area, use it in place of the grapefruit.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
8 small skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 slices baguette
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 ruby red grapefruits
1 small bulb fennel
1 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup crumbled low-fat feta cheese

Steps:

Place a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack and preheat to 475 degrees F. Coarsely grind the coriander and fennel seeds in a spice grinder or crush with a heavy skillet. Put the chicken in a large bowl and sprinkle with the spices; season with salt and pepper and toss well.
Drizzle the baguette slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over high heat; add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add the chicken and cook until browned on the bottom, 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes.
Carefully arrange the baguette slices on the hot baking sheet. Put 1 chicken thigh on each baguette slice. Roast on the bottom rack until the chicken is cooked through and the baguette is browned and crisp on the bottom, 15 to 17 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the grapefruits with a paring knife; cut out the segments and transfer to a bowl. Squeeze in the juices from the membranes and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Trim and core the fennel; finely chop the fennel bulb and 1/4 cup fronds and add to the bowl along with the parsley. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss well.
Divide the bread and chicken among plates. Spoon the grapefruit-fennel salad over the chicken and top with the cheese.

CHICKEN, AVOCADO, & GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

Chicken, Avocado, & Grapefruit Salad image

If anyone knows how to make the Pampered Chef Citrus & Basil rub, please let me know! Otherwise, you could probably just sprinkle some lemon pepper and basil if you don't have the prepackaged seasoning.
