Spice-Rubbed Chicken
Notes:
A tasty from my modern version of "The Joy Of Cooking". The rub works pretty well on pork tenderloin as well.
Ingredients:
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp dry mustard
1 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup minced cilantro
3 Tbl fresh lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, minced
dash salt
Preparation:
Mix together salt, mustard fennel, coriander, cinnamon and red pepper; crushing in the fennel seeds in a mortar & pestle or against the side of the bowl with a strong metal spoon.

Rinse and pat dry chicken breasts and evenly coat all sides with spice mixture.

Grill chicken and prepare sauce: mix olive oil, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic and a dash of salt in a small bowl. Drizzle oil mixture over chicken just prior to serving.

Olive oil mix may be made ahead of time and chilled -- the difference in temperatures between the oil and the chicken is rather pleasant.
