Cinnamon braised chicken with sweet potato and olives

Cinnamon Braised Chicken with Sweet Potato and Olives is a flavourful, comforting dish with a perfect balance of sweet and savoury. The chicken is braised with aromatic spices like cinnamon, cumin, and garlic, along with tender sweet potatoes that absorb the rich flavours. Olives add a briny contrast, enhancing the dish with a Mediterranean twist. Slow-cooked to perfection, it’s a hearty, one-pot meal that’s both aromatic and satisfying.

Ingredients

Ingredients (4 servings):

2 tablespoons olive oil

800g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, cut into thirds

2 celery stalks, sliced

1 brown onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

400g can cherry tomatoes

1 cup chicken stock

400g sweet potato, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces

1/3 cup pitted olives

Instructions

Method:

Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan over high heat. Cook chicken, in batches, for 2 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate.

Reduce heat to medium. Add celery, onion and garlic to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until onion has softened.
