Chicken Smothered In Onions - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large whole chicken, cut into pieces
3/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use (to taste)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic (or to taste)
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large bay leaf
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 (10 ounce) can canned corn niblets, drained
1 cup frozen baby peas
1 (10 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
salt and black pepper

Preparation

In a shallow dish mix together the flour with seasoning salt, cayenne and garlic powder.
Toss/coat the chicken pieces well on all sides with flour mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven (I use my large electric frypan for this).
Add in the coated chicken pieces and brown on both sides (about 6-8 minutes per side).
Add in sliced onions (leave the chicken pieces in the Dutch oven do not remove to a plate) stirring constantly until wilted and browned.
Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits; saute the onions for about 10 minutes, adding in the minced garlic the last 3 minutes of sauteeing.
Season with salt and more cayenne pepper or black pepper.
Add in bell pepper and bay leaf; continue stirring for another 10 minutes.
Add in chicken broth; cover and reduce heat to medium.
Cook for about 30 minutes more or until the chicken pieces are cooked and tender.
Add in corn, peas and mushrooms; cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the veggies are heated through completely.
