Sear the chicken in a single layer until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches if needed and set the seared chicken aside on a plate.
Körülbelül 8 p
A szakács megjegyzése: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will steam the chicken instead of searing it.

Reduce the heat to medium, add the chopped onion to the same pot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
