Ingredients
- 5 onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 6 chicken thighs
- 50 g butter
- 500 ml chicken stock
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp italian herbs
- 2 tbsp chicken powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 150℃.
- Place chicken thighs in a medium-high heat oven safe pot. Sear in olive oil and a sprinkle of salt until they are nice and browned - the thighs do not need to be fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken thighs, keep them in a covered bowl on the side.
- Thinly slice the onions. Then place them in the pot the chicken was in. Use a little bit of the chicken stock to deglaze the pot if needed.
- Season the onion with a little bit of salt, and add the butter. Let the butter melt, turn the heat down to low, then place a lid on the pot. Leave the onions to caramelise for 25-30 minutes. Be sure to check every now and then that they are not burning.
- After the onions are a nice deep colour, grate/crush in the fresh garlic. Then pour in the paprika, garlic powder, italian herbs, and chicken powder. Also add the onion soup mix. The onions should now be similar to a paste consistency.
- Pour the remaining chicken stock into the pot. Stir and the sauce should form, the liquid should thicken.
- Place the chicken back into the pot. Put the lid on the pot, and pop it into the oven for a further 20 minutes.
- Remove the caramelised onion chicken from the oven, stir the sauce if a layer has formed on top. Leave the lid on the pot, but leave it to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
