This is one of my absolute favorite recipes that I cook often, especially when I’m cutting back on carbs, it’s light healthy and full of flavor. I usually like to eat it with my salad. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe. My son loves it too. I often prefer to use the boneless chicken breast. I always keep some stacked in my freezer. So, if you are in a hurry and the chicken is frozen, just take it out and cover with cold water, it'll dissolve in about a couple of hours.
So, here is how I make the chicken breast. I first cut the chicken into squares, add over the chicken, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices, in this case when I'm saying spices it doesn't mean it's spicy, not at all it's full of flavor. Here are the spices that I’m using: garlic powder and lots of it, allspice, cinnamon cardamom powder (optional), salt and pepper. Mix everything well with the chicken, you can cook it right away or let it sit for a couple of hours in the fridge, which makes it even better.
I pour the chicken in a skillet or a pot, no need to add any more oil because the mix already has some. Cook on medium heat with occasional stirring, which takes about 15-20 minutes. In the beginning, it'll seem that there is so much juice in the mix, but it will all evaporate, just make sure not to overcook and keep some of the juice with the chicken, so the chicken will stay tender.
