Ingredients
  • 1 small (or half large) onion

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes (you would want 2-inch cubes for brochettes) - this amount of marinade is easily enough for 4 chicken breasts

  4. Add marinade to chicken in bag and seal.

  7. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Add chicken, stirring until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  9. Pour remaining marinade into pan and cook, stirring for about 5 minutes.
  10. Remove from heat and ladle on top of Cinnamon and Honey-Glazed Sweet Potatoes.
