  • 2  tablespoons  plus 1 teaspoon olive oilOn Sale
  • 6  ounces  curly endive (curly chicory), washed, dried, and chopped into 2-inch pieces (about 6 cups, loosely packed)On Sale
  • 2    cloves garlic, mincedOn Sale
  • 1/4  teaspoon  coriander seed, crushedOn Sale
  • 1/4  cup  water or homemade or low-salt canned chicken brothOn Sale
  • 1/2  cup  orange juice, preferably freshly squeezedOn Sale
  • 1  tablespoon  good-quality white-wine vinegarOn Sale
  • 1  tablespoon  unsalted butterOn Sale
  • 2  tablespoons  minced fresh flat-leaf parsleyOn Sale
  • 2  tablespoons  coarsely chopped toasted walnutsOn Sale

Directions
1.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the endive and cook, stirring frequently, until deep green but still crisp-tender, about 90 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl.
2.
Heat another 1 tablespoon oil in the pan and add the chicken. When the underside of the chicken has turned deep golden brown (after about 1 minute), turn it with a metal spatula. Turn occasionally for even browning until almost cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, and transfer to the bowl of endive.
3.
Reduce the heat to medium, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the pan, and then add the garlic and crushed coriander. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the water or broth, orange juice, and vinegar. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits in the pan and blend them into the sauce. Simmer vigorously until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter, stirring until blended. Stir in the chicken and endive along with any juices, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve sprinkled with the parsley and walnuts.
