Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add diced onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.
  3. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg; add to the skillet.
  4. Cook chicken until browned on both sides.

Notes

For added sweetness, consider using a sweet apple variety, like Honeycrisp or Fuji. Make sure to use fresh spices for the best flavor explosion. If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the dish simmer a bit longer uncovered to reduce the liquid.
