(11,912 posts)I made this up after going to a middle eastern restaurant and falling in love with their lemon/olive chicken dish.
1.5 to 2 lb chicken tenders or breasts
Olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon (depending on your taste)
2 lemons, sliced thin
2 T lemon juice
1 large onion, sliced
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup sliced green olives with pimento
Preheat oven to 375. Drizzle oil lightly over bottom of baking dish to coat. Lay chicken tenders in pan and sprinkle with lemon juice, salt, pepper, cinnamon, paprika. Top chicken with lemon slices, onion slices, chickpeas, and sliced green olives. Lightly drizzle veggies with another tablespoon or two of olive oil. Cover with foil and bake one hour. Serve with a beet salad, tatziki, and naan or pitas!
