Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts in a single layer and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden on the outside. Transfer the chicken to a plate — it will not be fully cooked through at this point.
2
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute — watch closely so it doesn't brown.
