Nick’s Cinnamon Chicken
I always love to find a new recipe with a different take on common ingredients – and this one fills the bill!
Ingredients
2-3 chicken breasts
~3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 can (28oz/800ml) whole tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cinnamon sticks
1/4-1/2 peach, chopped finely OR 1-2 tablespoons honey
1 splash of vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
enough pasta for 4 servings (cheese tortellini is good)
Procedure
1. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan. LIGHTLY brown chicken breasts – don’t cook them through.
2. Add the onion and fry for a couple of minutes.
3. Add peach (if you’re using peach) and fry for another minute.
4. Cut the tomatoes in half and add them.
5. Add everything else and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and let it simmer for about 15 more minutes.
6. In the meantime, cook the pasta according to the directions on the package.
7. Remove cinnamon sticks from sauce. Serve over hot pasta with freshly grated Parmesan and garlic bread.
Serves 4.
