Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients. This means using fresh, organic chicken and onions, and high-quality spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between each piece so that it can brown evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the food from sticking.
  • Don't overcook the onions. They should be cooked until they are translucent and slightly browned, but not mushy.
  • Add the spices at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve their flavor.
  • Serve the chicken and onions with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, naan, or vegetables.

Conclusion:
