I found it could take a bit more onion than listed, and after searing the chicken, there was enough chicken fat that no extra oil or water was needed.

Directions

  • Heat a pot until very hot.
  • Sear the meat (can substitute brisket for the chicken).
  • Chop up the onion and sauté in a little oil or margarine along with the crushed garlic.
  • Add the chicken (or other meat) back to the pot, lower the flame, cover and cook about 15 minutes per side, stirring frequently to keep from burning.
  • Add water (more or less as needed to keep from drying out but not to make a broth) continuing to cook until the meat is soft.
  • Serve with potato or rice.
