Directions
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken pieces, seasoning with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides until golden, about 5-7 minutes per side, then remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the red onion wedges. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-8 minutes.
-
Return the chicken to the skillet with the onions. Add a splash of broth or water, cover, and simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
-
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the fresh chopped mint, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
