Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 Onions
1 Olive oil
2 Garlic cloves
8 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Fresh lemon rind
1/4 cup Dry vermouth
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
5 cups Chicken broth
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1 cup Nonfat plain yogurt
To taste Salt
To taste Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Brown Chicken: Add the chicken chunks to the skillet and cook until they are nicely browned on all sides.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Final Heating: Let the dish simmer on low heat for an additional two minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.

  8. 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.
