CHICKEN BREASTS AND ENDIVE WITH FENNEL-CORIANDER MARINADE

Steps:

• Place the coriander and fennel seeds in a spice grinder and process until coarsely ground. Place them in a small bowl and whisk in the oil, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Split each chicken breast in half lengthwise to form two thin paillards. Place them in a nonreactive bowl and toss with 2/3 of the marinade. Place the endive in another nonreactive bowl and toss with the remaining marinade. Cover the bowls and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour and up to 6 hours.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Remove the chicken and endive from the marinade and grill until the chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes, and the endive is soft and browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. (Alternatively, heat 2 large heavy skillets over high heat and preheat the broiler. Cook the chicken, turning once, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Place the endive on a sheet pan and cook in the broiler, turning occasionally, until tender and browned, 6 to 7 minutes.) Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and surround with the endive. Serve immediately.
