including capers and tomatoes.

both sides of chicken.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat;
brown chicken on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to plate and set
aside.
in skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat; cook onion, garlic and
remaining basil mixture, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until softened.
Add tomatoes, breaking up with spoon, cinnamon, vinegar and capers; bring
to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until chicken is
no longer pink inside.
Sprinkle with parsley.
