👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Heat oil or butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.

Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3
Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add chopped tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a thick sauce, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Return the chicken pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Serve hot, spooning the rich tomato sauce over the chicken. It's excellent with crusty bread or rice.
