boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup canned diced tomatoes

1/2 cup pitted green olives

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Set up the Chicken: Season the chicken bosoms with salt and pepper on the two sides. In a huge skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high intensity.

Sear the Chicken: Sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once browned, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Saute Aromatics

 In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are softened and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Add Spices

 Stir in the cumin, paprika, coriander, oregano, and cinnamon. Let the spices toast for a minute to release their flavors.

Combine Ingredients

 Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and green olives. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any flavorful bits.

Simmer

 Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve

 Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the Turkish Chicken over a bed of couscous, rice, or with crusty bread. Add a squeeze of lemon for a burst of citrusy freshness.
