Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt, divided
- 2 lemons (1 cut into 8 wedges and deseeded and one juiced)
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 ounce can low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 ounce jar Castelvetrano olives, pitted and reserving all the juice
Instructions
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat, add onion and garlic, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and saute until golden, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the juice of one lemon and next 5 ingredients; stir 1 minute. Add broth and reserved olive juice and bring to boil.
- Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/2 tsp salt add to skillet. Add the remaining 8 lemon wedges and olives. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 25-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally. Transfer chicken to platter and serve.
Notes
- Chicken: If you prefer, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
- Olives: While green olives are traditionally used, you can experiment with black olives or even stuffed olives for a unique twist.
- Ground Cumin: If you don’t have ground cumin, you can substitute it with ground coriander for a different but equally delicious flavor profile.
- Paprika: Smoked paprika can be used instead of regular paprika to add a smoky dimension to the dish.
- Fresh Lemon: If you don’t have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice in a pinch, but fresh lemon wedges will always add an extra touch.
