Instructions
Weigh 190 g of raw boneless chicken thigh meat and cut it into 4 cm pieces. Mix it with the 35 g of lemon juice, the 6 g of chopped garlic and the 1 g of chili; cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Slice the 250 g of onion. Take the chicken out of the marinade and keep all the marinade chilled. Heat 8 g of the 14 g of oil in a Dutch oven and brown the chicken for 8 minutes; set aside.
Add the remaining 6 g of oil and the onions. Cook for 20 minutes over low heat, stirring regularly, with 30 ml of water to keep them from sticking.
