Instructions
Place a large Dutch oven coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken; saut 7 minutes or until browned.
Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
Add onion; saut 7 minutes or until lightly browned.
Add garlic; saut 1 minute.

Add chicken and salt; cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz
Chili works really well with Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better.
Casteller Cava Rosé is a delicious sparkling wine made in the traditional method, with a second fermentation in the bottle. Aged for 12 months on the lees before release, it consistently delivers premium flavors.This vivacious, tangy Cava will pair well with most any tapas, in addition to fresh fruit, berry tarts and soft, creamy cheeses. It has more than enough style and substance to be an excellent aperitif all on its own.
