A delightful Mediterranean-inspired chicken dish with a zesty lemon herb sauce.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the oil to prevent sticking.
Add the chicken breasts and sear them on both sides until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Use fresh tomatoes for a brighter flavor, or canned for convenience.
Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn't dry out; add a splash of water if needed.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the skillet and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Add the lemon juice at the end to preserve its fresh flavor.
Serve the chicken with the sauce over a bed of rice or alongside steamed vegetables.
Garnish with additional parsley for a pop of color.
