Another lackadaisical Sunday , woke up late , had to force other people here to brush their teeth and start up the day , was too lethargic to do anything.
Hubby lovingly told me he's on diet and doesn't need anything for lunch " Oh that's his usual dialogue " and then by 1-30 noon he'll be searching the pantry shelf...since this is a very easy dish and also because I had some chicken in the fridge , decided to make this super easy dish.

Onion/shallots - 1 large, chopped or 20 small onion's crushed.
