Easy Cinnamon Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Combine juice, honey, lemon juice, garlic, seasonings in a large ziptop container.
• Add chicken pieces, seal bag, shake to coat well and let marinade in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 350°F and have ready a large roasting pan, 9" x 13".
• Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off the excess and set chicken aside on a plate.
• Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and boil until it has reduced to 1 cup and has begun to thicken (about 10-15 minutes).
• Heat oil in a skillet and brown chicken parts over fairly high heat just a few minutes per side, lowering heat if needed to prevent from charring- you want the chicken to be evenly browned, but not fully cooked yet.
• Place chicken in the roasting pan and pour the reduced marinade on top.
• Bake 30-55 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and no no longer pink (will vary based on the chicken pieces you use).
• Skim fat from the pan juices and serve juices as a dipping sauce if you like.
• Garnish with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with ground cinnamon, seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. (Note: You can be liberal with the seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper; however, the cinnamon should only be a dusting and not clumped.)
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Stir olive oil, cinnamon, salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and thyme together in a small bowl; rub onto chicken to coat. Arrange coated chicken pieces into a baking dish with the skin side down.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, turn, and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and rest chicken for about 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Season chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the ground cinnamon. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, cook the chicken until it begins to lightly brown in spots, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside. (If it's not cooked through at this point, that's O.K.)
• Add the onion and the garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion begins to soften and the garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt.
• Stir in the tomato paste, tomatoes, 1/4 cup water and the cinnamon stick(s). Add the chicken and any residual juices, stir to coat with the sauce and bring to a simmer. Turn heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes. Add a few tablespoons water if needed to thin out the sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.
• Serve the chicken over buttered egg noodles or orzo, if using, spooning the tomato sauce on top. Top with the herbs and grated cheese, if using.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic and cinnamon. Rub the chicken pieces with this mixture and allow it to sit for about 30 minutes at room temperature. Heat oven to 400°F. Place the chicken pieces in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle the meat all over with the paprika and add the onion slices around the chicken. Cook for 35 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350°F . Stir in a cup of water or chicken stock to the roasting pan and continue cooking for another 50 minutes. Serve and use the juices from the pan as a sauce.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat broiler. Place chicken on a broiler pan. Sprinkle all over with salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Turn skin-side down, and transfer to broiler. Broil about 6 inches from the heat for 15 minutes. Turn the chicken, and broil until the skin is crisp and brown, about 15 minutes more.
• For the raita: In a small bowl, stir together the cucumber, yogurt, sour cream, cilantro, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken immediately with raita.

Steps:

• In a medium size bowl, mix the dry sherry, cinnamon, honey, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to a evenly coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight.
• To cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove the chicken, shaking off excess marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil until it begins to thicken and about 1 cup remains, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Sear the chicken until golden on both sides. Pour the reduced marinade over the chicken and place in the oven.
• Bake about 20 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle pepper on both sides of chicken breasts. Press pepper onto chicken with back of spoon.
• Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of cinnamon on both sides of each piece of chicken, press with spoon.
• Sprinkle onion powder on top side only, press with spoon.
• Place chicken in 8x8 pan.
• Combine prepared boullion, water (or wine), and remaining cinnamon.
• Pour into botton of pan, NOT over chicken.
• Loosely cover with foil and bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.
• check liquid level halfway through cooking, may require more water (wine)-> additional 1/4 cup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a large roasting pan lightly with cooking spray.
• Combine the flour with the salt, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, and a pinch nutmeg.
• Coat the chicken pieces well with the flour mixture (you can use chicken with or without skin on - it's up to you).
• Beat together the egg and milk; dredge the flour-coated chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumbs.
• Arrange pieces skin side up (if using pieces with skin) in the sprayed roasting pan, making sure that the pieces are not touching each other (if possible) to ensure they bake crispy; spray chicken pieces with oil spray or sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oil and place the chicken in the oven to bake.
• While the chicken is baking, in a saucepan over medium low heat combine the butter, honey, pinches of cinnamon, and lemon juice.
• After the chicken has baked for 25 minutes, pour the butter and honey mixture generously over the pieces.
• Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the juices run clear and the chicken is crisp and brown.
• Note: if you'd like to add a bit of kick to the recipe, you can try a pinch or two of cayenne (to taste) in the honey sauce, or perhaps some red pepper flakes!

Steps:

• Mix together sherry, cinnamon, honey, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Arrange chicken pieces in single layer in shallow oven-proof pans; pour over marinade, turn pieces to coat well. Refrigerate overnight, longer if desired; turn pieces occasionally.
• Drain marinade and reserve. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces, basting with marinade and turning once or twice.
• In warmer months chicken can be grilled on outdoor barbecue.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Wash and dry chicken. Combine ingredients and rub over entire chicken. Place chicken in a roasting pan on a rack. Roast 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and roast until chicken registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
• Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute onion, garlic, cinnamon and pepper in oil until onion is tender. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until juices run clear. Add orange juice and raisins. Cook over low heat for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• In large bowl combne garlic, cinnamon, sherry, chicken broth, salt, pepper, lemon and honey.
• Add in chicken and marinate 2 hours or overnight, depending on how much time you have.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Use large baking dish or even aluminum pans, big enough so that pieces are not on top of each other.
• Pour marinade over chicken and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
• Marinade will become nice and thick on the chicken.
• Serve with some noodles and salad.
