How to Make Chicken Smothered In Onions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add the chicken pieces to the flour mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the coated chicken pieces to the pot and brown on all sides. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
- Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned (about 8-10 minutes).
- Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
- Add the minced garlic during the last 3 minutes of sautéing the onions.
- Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to taste.
- Stir in the bell pepper and bay leaf.
- Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return the browned chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Add the frozen corn, peas, and mushrooms.
- Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through and tender.
- Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
