Grandma's Smothered Chicken
  1. Coat the bottom of an oven safe skillet with 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil heat on medium high.

  2. Combine 1 cup of flour with garlic powder, salt and pepper whisk together.

  3. Coat chicken pieces in the flour mixture and placed in hot skillet, skin side down. Sear chicken for approximately 5 to 7 minutes until skin begins to turn golden brown. Do not cook chicken all the way done.

  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

  5. Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet with the juices from the chicken and the remaining olive oil, add chopped onions and garlic and sauté until soft.

  6. Once garlic and onions have softened, add remaining 3 tablespoons of the flour and allow flour to absorb the oil in the bottom of the skillet.
