GRILLED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND CORN



Grilled Chicken With Tomatoes and Corn image

While you could rest grilled chicken on a cutting board to ensure the juices don't run out of the meat when it's sliced, a more delicious option is to place the chicken on a pile of tomatoes, corn and red onion. The seasoned drippings act as a no-effort warm dressing, bolstering the flavor of the vegetables and softening their raw edges. Before grilling, the chicken is rubbed with chili powder, the spice mix that typically includes dried oregano, garlic, onion, cumin and ground chiles, for complex flavor with minimal effort. Fresh oregano, while optional, emphasizes the herbs in the chili powder. Use this technique of resting grilled proteins on fresh produce for many summer dinners: pork chops on peaches, steak on chopped scallions and ginger, sausages on radicchio and halloumi on citrus.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, patted dry
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing the grill grates
1 tablespoon chili powder
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1 1/2 pounds large ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 ear of corn, kernels cut from the cob (about 1 cup kernels)
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, coat the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside. (You can do this step up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate and bring to room temperature before cooking.)
  • On a large platter, layer the tomatoes, corn kernels, red onion and fresh oregano (if using). Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • When ready to grill, clean the grates with a grill brush, then lightly grease the grates. Grill the chicken until browned and cooked through, and it releases easily from the grates, 5 to 7 minutes per side. (If flare-ups occur, move the chicken to an area of the grill with smaller flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and peeking occasionally for flare-ups.)
  • Transfer the chicken to the platter. Let rest for 5 to 20 minutes before serving.

Provided by Marc Forgione

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.
