i just had an amazing lunch - cinnamon chicken

[dolph]

from the greek place downstairs. slow cooked so it was really tender, with tomatoes and sweet onions, it was so good... with great roasted potatoes and yellow rice for $6 flat. if anyone's ever heard of cinnamon chicken or has a recipe, please post it here or pm me. i must know how to make this.

Never had that, but I'm finding out that the Greeks know a thing or two about food. Especially the use of cinnamon in their dishes. I had musaka (sp?) a few weeks ago, which is a beef casserole flavored with cinnamon, that was pretty good too.

Moussaka is kind of like a Greek shephard's pie. I love it. It's also more commonly made with lamb.
I find it intriguing how the cinnamon in Greek dishes manages to stay subtle and not beat the crap out of the other flavors in the food.

Eww!!

Cinnamon DOES NOT belong in main dish types of food. Dessert is ok.

If you think cinnamon in meat dishes is weird but good, try greek meatballs like youvarlakia or keftedes. Minty meatballs!

Cinnamon is only good with lots of sugar and desserts. I usually have a breakfast of 600ml of Chocolate milk and Hazelnut powder but today I used cinnamon. It was quite " different".

mint + meat = a good combination (especially lamb)
