Pollo Encebollada (Onion Chicken) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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
1/4 cup cooking wine (optional)
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)

Preparation

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.
