A delightful chicken dish infused with warm spices and a touch of sweetness, perfect for any occasion.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated before adding the oil to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, ground cinnamon, and smoked paprika, mixing well.
Adjust the seasoning to taste at this stage.
Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Check occasionally and stir to prevent sticking.
Serve the chicken dish warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side dish like rice or salad for a complete meal.
