Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

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
¼ cup cooking wine
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)

Steps:

  • 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.
