This caramelized onion chicken roast is perfect for those days when it’s almost dinner time and you still have no clue what to make. And this one delivers on all counts – BIG flavours, really fast cook time and a one-pot type of dish. The ONLY work is slicing the onions – for which I generally use a mandoline which means no tears and a pile of onions sliced in five minutes.
This is one of those dishes that tastes so incredibly delicious, I bet no one can tell how simple it actually is to put together! It also makes for a great appetizer! But if you’re eating this for dinner, serve it with some naan or rice and salad for a quick and easy wholesome meal!
2. Once the chicken has been marinating for 15-20 minutes, heat ghee in a pan. Add the cinnamon, bayleaf, cloves and peppercorns. In about 30 seconds, your kitchen will fill up with this beautiful aroma from all the spices.
3. Add green chillies and saute for a minute. Add chicken and brown on both sides for about 2 minutes on high heat.
4. Add the sliced onions. There is no need to saute or fry them. Just layer them on top of the chicken. Resist the temptation to stir things around too much.
5. Place a lid and cook for 20-25 minutes.
6. Halfway through, turn the chicken once. Add two tablespoons of water to the marinade bowl and mix it with the leftover paste. Add this to the pan. Cover and cook.
7. When the chicken is just about cooked (around the 20-minute mark), take off the lid, let all the water evaporate and let it brown in its juices. Serve hot!
