Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness. Season each side with salt and pepper.

  2. Dredge the seasoned chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until onion is translucent and fragrant.

  5. Add ground cumin, paprika, and ground cinnamon to the onion and garlic mixture. Stir and cook for about 1 minute until aromatic.

  6. Pour in chicken broth and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes.

  7. Return cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to absorb flavors.

  8. Toast sliced almonds in a separate dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, watching carefully to avoid burning.

  9. Sprinkle toasted almonds over the chicken in the skillet.

  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
