Tunisian Baked Chicken is a flavorful and delicious way to enjoy chicken. This recipe is perfect for a lunch or dinner with family and friends. The chicken is first coated in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper before being browned in a skillet over medium-high heat. The chicken is then removed from the skillet and a spice mixture including paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper is combined with onions and garlic in the same skillet, creating a delicious base for the chicken to cook in. Chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon slices, and pimiento-stuffed green olives are added to the skillet along with the chicken and baked in the oven to create a delicious and flavorful one-pan meal. Serve the Tunisian Baked Chicken with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and healthy meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.On a plate, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast into the mixture, coating both sides evenly.
3.In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4.Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic, cooking until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
5.Add the paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6.Pour in the chicken broth and the juice of the small lemon. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes.
7.Return the chicken to the skillet, coating each piece in the spice mixture. Add the lemon slices and olives to the skillet.
8.Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
9.Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken before serving.
