  1. This is an easy recipe all in one pan! I pounded the chicken breasts first so it cut the cooking time by about ten minutes, and I used about half the amount of olives. Very tasty meal which we had with plain basmati rice and green beans. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. What a tremendous dish! I made this last night for a small dinner party and everyone raved! The taste of the cinnamon comes through so nicely! I added a touch of oregano, almost a tspn of cayenne, and a tad more Olive Oil...I served it with a spinach, feta, and mushroom orzo that I made... absolutely fabulous. Thanks so much for this great recipe!
     
  3. This is more because of my personal taste, but the cinnamon did not mix well with the dish. It was a very savory dish and I am obviously in the minority in a three-star rating. The only deviation I used was a stainless steel pan and I deglazed the chicken with a bit of white wine. Very nice.
     
  4. Fine meal! I thought the olives made it but also love lemon in food. I had planned to make a salad that included Mediterranian feta cheese but just sprinkled it on top of the chicken. Good!
     
  5. Easy, good, fast .. My husband liked it thanks Dancer^!

Tweaks

  1. This was very nice! Like many here, I substituted tomato sauce for canned tomatoes. I used 3/4 can and added 1 fresh, chopped tomato, so the sauce probably turned out thicker than the original recipe. The cinnamon flavor was a bit more than I liked, but it was not too overpowering. The sauce was very thick and rich, so I found myself wanting something to go with it to tone it down. I think slicing the chicken over some pasta would be just perfect!
     
  2. This recipe was really easy and very tasty. I don't like parsley or olives so I subbed oregano for parsley and a cup of frozen spinach for the olives. I also added a small can of tomato sauce to make it saucier. The aroma of the cinnamon while it was cooking was wonderful!
