Ingredients

  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 celery stalks, thinly sliced on the bias
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
  • 2 Spanish onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped

Directions

Bring a medium pan of well-salted water to a boil.

Toss the coriander seeds into a small dry saute pan and place on medium heat. Toast until the seeds turn slightly yellow and become very aromatic. In a spice grinder or using a mortar and pestle, grind the coriander seeds to a powder.

Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and ground coriander.

Toss the cauliflower florets into the boiling water and cook until the cauliflower starts to soften but is not mushy, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain and reserve.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Lay 2 of the seasoned breasts skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook until the skin is really brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. DO NOT try to turn the chicken if the skin is sticking. Cook for another minute or so and shake the pan to get it to unstick. Turn the chicken over and brown the other side; remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Ditch the oil in the pan and add a little fresh oil. Add the celery, garlic and onions. Season with salt and cook until the vegetables are soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the wine, honey, vinegar, pine nuts, raisins and bay leaves. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cauliflower back in the pan

Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a roasting pan or casserole dish. Nestle the chicken on top and add the chicken stock. Cover with foil, place on a sheet tray and cook for 40 minutes. Take the foil off during the last 10 minutes of cooking time.

Garnish with chives and serve.

    We loved the Coriander Chicken but the hammered cauliflower was lacking flavor. Too much broth, too soupy and the taste of the cauliflower was lost with the onions, garlic, celery etc. I would make the coriander chicken but would definitely not make the hammered cauliflower. I am a very experienced cook. Always looking for new recipes but I will definitely not put this in my database. Sorry Anne... not your best..

    In the video Ann put maybe 1 cup of broth, if not less. This recipe says 2 I believe. Which would be why most said it was too soupy and the cauliflower was so mushy. And in the video she said 40 minutes total. The first 30 covered and the last with no cover.

    I decided to make this at the last minute & didn't have cauliflower. Instead I blanched sliced savoy cabbage also changed out walnuts for pine nuts & cider vinegar for the sherry vingegar. After reading the reviews I only added 1 C of stock. At the end I tossed the veggies with wide egg noodles--delicious. A good recipe can take some finagling!
