Pollo Encebollado Chicken In Onion Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan or pot over medium-high flame.
• Working in batches, brown the chicken pieces in the hot oil and remove to a plate.
• Pour off all but 2-3 tablespoons of oil and add the onions to the same pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté until cooked down and just beginning to brown, 10-15 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and return the chicken pieces to the pot. Add the water or stock, wine, bay leaf, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
• Adjust seasoning and serve with rice.

Steps:

• In a deep sauté pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil and butter.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
• Add the onion to the pan and cook until tender and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken, garlic, thyme, wine, stock, cumin and Worcestershire and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
