Cinnamon Chicken ( Modified from a family recipe)


Ingredients

1 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1 medium onion
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp granulated onion
1 tbsp raw sugar
Makes 2 servings




Directions

Saute the onions in the olive oil ( add some salt and pepper to your taste). Then turn the heat on low, place the chicken breast on top of the onions and add the remaining ingredients ( tomato sauce, chicken broth, cinnamon, turmeric, granulated onion, and raw sugar). Bring the liquids to a boil then cover and reduce to a simmer. After about 15 minutes, return to the pot and pull the chicken apart into "big shreds" . Let it cook for another 15-20 minutes ensuring the chicken absorbs the flavor of the sauce.  If the sauce is too liquidy at this point, uncover the pot completely and let it simmer for a few more minutes, allowing the liquid to evaporate and thicken the sauce.  Serve with basmati rice.
