  • In a large skillet heat oil; add onions and garlic. Cook over medium heat until onions are browned and tender. Remove onions, set aside.
  • Salt & pepper the chicken. Add more oil to skillet, if needed. In same skillet over medium heat, brown chicken pieces for 15 minutes, turning as necessary (but minimally, this is how you get good color on your chicken).

  • Stir in wine; cook, uncovered over low heat for 15 minutes longer, turning occasionally. Chicken is done when it is easily pierced with a fork. Remove bay leaves. Transfer chicken and sauce to a serving dish. Serve with hot cooked rice. Makes 4 servings.
