Directions
In a pan, place all the ingredients except the lemon juice. Bring to a boil over moderate heat. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
Uncover the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and briskly stir the sauce with a wooden spoon to break up the onion pieces. Continue to cook for 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice and cook for 10 minutes more, or until chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened. Serve warm.
