Chicken stewed in pieces with onions
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This method of cooking chicken stewed in pieces is specifically for those who don't like spending a lot of time at the stove. The dish requires no supervision and cooks almost as easily as in a multicooker. Besides onions, you can add other vegetables and spices, but in my opinion, the classic recipe is the most successful. The finished dish can be served immediately.

5. Chicken stewed in chunks at home should simmer on the stove for about 1 hour. Do not disturb it during this time. Simply let it braise over the lowest heat. It's best not to even lift the lid, so as not to interfere with the process. Before serving, you can accompany the chicken with a side dish, sauce, or vegetables, for example.
