Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut in half
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup black olives, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins

1. Flatten chicken to an even thickness. Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil into a large nonstick skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil for about 4 minutes each batch, to brown and slightly cook, then transfer to a plate.

2. Pour another teaspoon of oil into the skillet and set over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, and ginger in hot oil for about 2 minutes to soften, then add broth, apricots, and olives.

3. When mixture comes to a boil, cook for 5 minutes. Then set chicken back in the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, flipping midway through cooking time.

4. Serve chicken sprinkled with cilantro.
