Cinnamon Chicken
First, let’s set the scene with a fabulous image of our star dish. Feast your eyes on this!
Now that we’re all hungry, let’s talk ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful dish:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional, but who doesn’t love a little green flair?)
Now, let’s not beat around the bush, I’m here to give you the instructions like it’s a secret recipe passed down from my great-grandma who may or may not have cooked at a royal banquet. Here’s how to create this mouth-watering masterpiece:
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is crucial because no one likes cold chicken. That would be a tragedy!
- Season the Chicken: Grab those chicken breasts and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cinnamon, and paprika. Make sure to sprinkle generously because flavors are your friend!
- Heat the Olive Oil: In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Wait for it to shimmer like your excitement when you see dessert!
- Cook the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. You want that lovely sear to lock in those flavors!
- Drizzle It Up: Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle honey over the top. It’s like giving your chicken a sweet little hug!
- Finish in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/75°C). Sit back and let the aroma fill your kitchen.
- Garnish: Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if you fancy – then serve and enjoy your creation!
And there you have it! A flavorful journey straight to the culinary heart of the matter. Don’t forget to pat yourself on the back for making such a delicious dish. Enjoy your Cinnamon Chicken with a side of your favorite veggies or rice, and watch everyone marvel at your cooking prowess!
