Instructions

- In a small bowl, combine the saffron threads with a tablespoon of warm water. Let it steep and infuse for about 10 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the infused saffron mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour in chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet.
- Let the chicken simmer in the saffron tomato sauce for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken and sauce.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
