Easy sweet onions with chicken A simple but tasty way to cook chicken and sweet onions. Take 4 chicken breasts with skin on. Slice one or two sweet onions and peel 6-10 garlic cloves depending on how much you like garlic. Place the chicken, garlic and sweet onions in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle on some dried chili flakes. Drizzle over sufficient extra virgin olive oil to coat all the ingredients and cover the base of the dish. Cover with foil and place in a hot oven. Takes between 1 to 1.5 hours depending on size of chicken breast. Uncover for the last 20 minutes. Goes well with roast potatoes and vegetables and some bellaverde steamed.
