Coriander Chicken with Tomato Corn Salad

This yummy recipe is from Cooking Light. If you don't have coriander you can substitute sage and lemon zest. The blend of spices on the chicken is awesome and the tomato corn salad tastes great even with canned corn.

CHICKEN:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

SALAD:
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup sliced green onion tops
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (7-ounce) can whole-kernel corn, drained

To prepare the chicken, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Combine coriander and the next 5 ingredients (coriander through 1/8 teaspoon black pepper); rub evenly over both sides of chicken. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done.

To prepare salad, combine tomatoes and remaining ingredients, tossing well. Slice chicken; serve over salad.
