Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp plus 1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
2 cloves garlic , smashed
1/3 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, plus 8 sprigs (optional) for garnish
1/3 cup lightly packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
7 tbsp olive oil
grated zest of half an orange
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp cayenne
3/4 tsp salt
fresh-ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/3 lb in all )
2 plum tomatoes, diced (optional)

Directions:

In a small frying pan, toast the 1 tablespoon paprika with the cumin over low heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Put in a blender and puree with the garlic, cilantro leaves, parsley, 6 tablespoons of the oil, the orange zest, lemon juice, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Leave in the blender.
Put 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick frying pan over moderate heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Brown 5 minutes. Turn; cook until just done, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Blend the sauce to re-emulsify; serve over the chicken. Sprinkle with the tomatoes and top with the cilantro sprigs.
Wine Recommendation: A white with a bit of sweetness, like an Oregon pinot gris, will play off the spicy sauce nicely.
