Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (2 to 3 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons butter
4 small onions, sliced into rings, divided
¼ cup cooking wine
1 cube chicken bouillon with saffron
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 cup crema Salvadorena (Salvadoran-style sour cream)

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken pieces, in batches if necessary, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Add 1/2 of the onion rings, wine, chicken bouillon, cinnamon, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Cook over low heat until chicken is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir remaining onion rings into the skillet. Cook until softened slightly, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a serving platter.
  • Stir crema Salvadorena into the onion mixture in the skillet until well blended. Spoon over chicken.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit with my family. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful. I love the addition of the onions and peppers, and the paprika gives it a nice smoky flavor.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The chicken was cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I would recommend adding more spices and herbs to the sauce next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less paprika next time.
