| 2 | Onions |

| 8 | Boneless, skinless chicken breasts |
| 1 | Fresh lemon rind |
| 1/4 cup | Dry vermouth |

Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by heating a nonstick skillet over high heat. While it’s heating, peel and slice the onions, mince the garlic, and cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks. Also, grate the lemon rind.
-
-
Sauté Onions and Garlic: Once the skillet is hot, reduce the heat to medium-high and add the olive oil. Toss in the sliced onions and sauté until they start to brown. Then, add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant.
-
Brown Chicken: Add the chicken chunks to the skillet and cook until they are nicely browned on all sides.
-
Infuse Flavors: Sprinkle the grated lemon rind over the chicken, followed by the dry vermouth and cinnamon. Pour in 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of chicken broth. Cover the skillet and let it simmer over low heat until the chicken is fully cooked.
-
Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the remaining tablespoon of chicken broth with the cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture into the skillet, allowing the sauce to thicken.
-
Finish with Yogurt: Once the sauce has thickened, add the plain yogurt to the skillet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Final Heating: Let the dish simmer on low heat for an additional two minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve: Your Chicken Vermouth is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve hot with a side of spinach and rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
