Time 48m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2-3 lbs chicken, cut into serving pieces
salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons oil
3 onions, sliced thinly
1 cup water or 1 cup stock
1/2 cup white wine
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper, as needed

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.
