I'm not really sure how to translate the name of this dish exactly. Onionfied Chicken? Beonioned? Oniontastic? Let's just call it Chicken Covered in Onion Glory. Whatever you call it, it is mighty tasty. The original recipe is here, but I modified it quite a bit according to my own personal preference and what I actually had in my kitchen.
2 lbs of chicken (I usually use drumsticks)
Salt
2-3 T oil
2 onions sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken stock or bouillon
1/2 cup water
The juice of one lime
1 tsp Tabasco sauce (optional but highly recommended)
Seasoned bread crumbs
Rinse the chicken, pat dry; season with salt and brown in oil. Once browned, remove from pan and set aside. Pour off excess oil and add the onions. Cook over med-low heat for 10 minutes, add the garlic and cook another 3-5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and starting to brown. Add the chicken back in along with the chicken stock, water, lime juice and Tabasco. Increase heat to medium and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Thicken sauce with seasoned bread crumbs just before serving.
Serve with rice.

ReplyDeleteActually I just stumbled upon it while I was looking for new dishes to try and started tinkering.
ReplyDeleteFrom the name alone, I knew this would be mah-ve-lous. I would propose translating it Onioned Chicken!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely on my to-try list. And I vote for Be-Onioned Chicken.
