Pollo Con Oregano

This chicken recipe is made chicken parts and lots of garlic, along with Mexican oregano and a little onion.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 lb large chicken pieces with skin
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 small onion, roughly sliced
• 1 cup strong chicken broth
• 12 Additional garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Mexican oregano, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons additional chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
• olive oil

Instructions:

Put the chicken pieces into a saute pan in one layer. Add the whole garlic cloves, onion, and 1 cup chicken broth and cook, covered, over medium heat, turning the pieces over from time to time, until the broth has completely reduced and the chicken is tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Combine the minced garlic with the oregano, 2 tablespoons chicken broth, and sea salt in a small blender or mortar and work into a paste-like consistency. Spread the paste over the chicken pieces, turning them so they are evenly covered; return to the pan and cover. Set aside to season for 2 hours. Heat a broiler or grill and brown lightly, brushing with a little melted olive oil if necessary.

Serves 4.
