Chicken Breasts Ala Grecque image

Very flavorful and quick turn to an old favorite, boneless chicken breasts. The difference is the addition of grated lemon rind, vermouth and yogurt, and of course a splash of cinnamon. This is from a newspaper food column that's older than dirt.

This was my first time making chicken breasts à la grecque, and it turned out great! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
