Notes

Tips

Be sure to spray your dish with cooking spray to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
Using a Dutch Oven or a deep skillet helps reduce spatter and cleanup, and ensures you have plenty of room to work as you cook your chicken.
Using a blend of olive oil and butter to cook the chicken and onions adds rich flavor while eliminating the burnt taste butter alone can impart.
