How To Make grilled chicken with anise
-
Step 1For Chicken Breast: Combine the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl. Rub this all over the chicken breast. Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbs. olive oil. Place the chicken in the pan over a medium heat and sauté. Cover the pan slightly; when the chicken gains a nice golden color on one side; turn over and continue cooking on the other side. Do not cook the chicken on a high heat; this will dry out the chicken. The chicken is done when the meat is slightly firm to the touch and the juices run clear. Let the chicken rest at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it from drying out. For the Anise: Place the quartered anise in the pan that the chicken was just cooked in. Drizzle a tbs. of olive oil over the anise and season it with the salt and black pepper. Grill the anise until a nice golden color is reached on both sides. Serve with grated Romano or Parmesan cheese and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
