+Chicken stew ubiquitous in rural Brazil. Perfect pair with rice and beans, polenta or boiled cassava root.
+
+- ⏲️ Prep time: 30 min
+- 🍳 Cook time: 2h 30min
+- 🍽️ Servings: Usually enough for a family of five.
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- A whole ckicken weighing close to 2,5kg (roughly 3 pounds). Avoid industrially grown birds, as those can make the stew very greasy and flavorless.
+- A cup of diced onions of any kind.
+- Half a cup of diced chives.
+- A tablespoon of lard.
+- A full kettle of boiled water.
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Cut the chicken into pieces. Remove offal or small bones, if you want. Salt and pepper to taste now.
+2. In a pan (best if cast iron), add the lard and heat it up very well.
+3. Add the chicken and lower the heat.
+4. After the meat sears, add the diced onions.
+5. When the onions brown, cover the pot with boiling water, and let it simmer for two hours. If it dries, add more water.
+6. After those two hours, add the diced chives and simmer it for more thirty minutes.
