Chicken Sauté with Lemon, Cumin, and Parsley

What's in it:
1 medium lemon
3 tbsp olive oil
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 medium clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs/breasts, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt + pepper

How to make it:
1. Finely grate 1 tsp zest from the lemon and then juice the lemon.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook + stir until onion softens, about 3-5 mins.
3. Add the chicken, lemon zest, cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper. Stir until the chicken is just cooked through, about 4-6 mins.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in parsley and 2 tbsp of lemon juice. Season to taste with salt + pepper.
Serves: 2 to 3.

Suggestion: Serve over baby spinach with crusty bread on the side.
