Pollo encebollado

The Salvadoran diet is made from poultry and fish, vegetables, legumes, beans and other grains and dairy products. Mainly cheese and curd.  Pollo encebollado is  a delicious chicken with onion in the best Salvadoran style. An excellent alternative to serve as a main course for lunch. There are so many wonderful and  different versions of this dish in Central America.

It pairs traditionally this  chicken dish with a side of rice and tortillas with a few slices of queso fresco (or cuajada, a Salvadoran soft cheese, if you can find it), or  mashed potatoes for it,is a little less traditional but equally as comforting.
