Provided by Mindee

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Tbs Olive Oil
2 Large Onions, halved and sliced (This is about 2 slightly heaping cups.)
3/4 Cup Flour
3/4 tsp Garlic Powder
3/4 tsp Seasoning Salt
4 Tbs. Butter
6 Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
2 Cups Chicken Broth

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a 12 inch frying pan, over medium high heat. Stir in the onions. Just stir here and there for the first 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Once onions start to brown, stir more frequently. Onions should be browning not blackening. If your onions are getting too dark turn down your heat a bit. If the onions begin to stick to the bottom of the pan, pour a little water in and stir the onions around.
  • The onions should be fully caramelized in 12 to 15 minutes. All the onions should be browned with a few black pieces here and there. Remove from heat and set the finished onions aside in a bowl.
  • Whisk the flour, garlic powder and seasoning salt together.
  • Return the uncleaned frying pan back to the stove and melt the butter to sizzling over medium low heat.
  • Coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture on both sides. Shake off the excess. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides in the butter. Place browned pieces of chicken on a plate to the side of the pan.
  • Carefully pour a little chicken broth into the frying pan and swirl it around to remove any of the browned, cooked to the bottom bits. Whisk in the remaining broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Return the onions to the pan. Return the browned chicken to the pan in single layer. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Serve.

CHICKEN IN A FRIED ONION SAUCE



Chicken in a Fried Onion Sauce image

We loved this recipe! So much flavor without being overly heavy like some curries. Recipe courtesy "Madhur Jaffrey Indian Cooking".

Provided by Sandi From CA

Categories     Curries

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 lbs skinless chicken pieces (boneless dark meat, cleaned of most fat)
4 medium onions, peeled
1 1/2 inches piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, peeled
7 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4-1/2 ground kashmiri pepper or 1/4-1/2 cayenne
4 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
2 1/2 cups water
2 medium tomatoes, peeled and very finely chopped (canned may be substituted)
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro (or parsley)

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into large pieces. If you must use chicken breasts, cut them into 4-6 pieces. Just keep in mind that by using breasts, you're reducing both the fat content (yay!) AND the flavor (boo) and the result will be slightly drier chicken.
  • Chop half of the onions coarsely. Cut the remaining onions into halves, lengthwise, and then crosswise into very thin slices.
  • Put the chopped onions, ginger and garlic into the container of an electric blender. Blend to a paste.
  • Put the oil in a large, wide sauté pan or a large, deep frying pan (nonstick) and set over medium heat. When hot, put in the sliced, onions. Stir and fry the onions until they are a deep, reddish brown color. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon, squeezing out and leaving behind as much of the oil as possible. Put on a plate and set aside.
  • Take the pan off the heat. Put in the paste (keep face averted). Put the pan back onto the heat. Stir and fry the paste until it is brown, about 3-4 minutes. Now put in the ground coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne and stir once. Put in 1 Tbsp of the yogurt. Stir for about 30 seconds or until it is incorporated in the sauce. Add all the yogurt this way. Add the chicken pieces and stir them around for a minute.
  • Pour in the water, add the tomatoes and salt. Stir to mix and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes. Sprinkle in the garam masala and the fried onions. Mix. Cook, uncovered, on medium heat for 7-8 minutes or until the sauce reduces and thickens.
  • Skim off the fat and put the chicken in a warm serving dish. Sprinkle the cilantro or parsley over the top. Nom!

Chinese-Flavored Fried Chicken with Green Onion-Ginger Dipping Sauce image

Categories     Chicken     Ginger     Onion     Fry     Chill     Cilantro     Soy Sauce     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For dipping sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons hot chili sesame oil
For chicken
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons oriental sesame oil
1 4-to-4 1/2 pound whole chicken, cut into 12 pieces
1 quart vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
2 1-inch pieces fresh ginger, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Make dipping sauce:
  • Whisk all ingredients in small bowl to blend. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Make chicken:
  • Whisk eggs, soy sauce and sesame oil in large bowl to blend. Add chicken to egg mixture, turning to coat. Cover; chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat vegetable oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat to 375°F. Mix flour, ground ginger, salt and pepper in another bowl. Add chicken thighs and drumsticks to flour mixture; turn to coat.
  • Add fresh ginger to oil. Fry chicken thighs and drumsticks in hot oil until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer chicken to paper towels; drain. Coat chicken breasts and wings with flour mixture. Fry until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Serve with dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the chicken. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Brown the chicken in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the pot, or the chicken will not brown evenly.
  • Be patient when cooking the onions. It takes about 30 minutes to caramelize them properly.
  • Add a little bit of water or broth to the pot if the sauce starts to get too thick.
  • Serve the chicken in a fried onion sauce over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

This classic dish is a delicious and easy way to enjoy chicken. The fried onion sauce is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
