Chicken in Egg Sauce - Pollo en Salsa de Huevos

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter or vegetable oil

1 clove garlic, minced

2 cups chicken stock, about

3-1/2 to 4-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces

1 tablespoon dry mustard

6 hardboiled eggs, finely chopped

1 large onion, finely chopped

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

Cooking Instructions:

Heat the butter in a skillet and saute the chicken pieces until golden on both sides. Transfer them to a casserole. In the butter remaining in the skillet saute the onion and garlic with the mustard, stirring to mix. When the onion is soft, transfer the contents of the skillet to a flameproof casserole. Season with salt and pepper to taste and pour in the stock, adding a little more barely to cover the chicken, if necessary. Cover and simmer until the chicken is thender, about 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a warmed serving platter and keep warm. Over brisk heat reduce the sauce until it is of medium thickenss. Taste the sauce for seasoning and add a little salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in the eggs and cook just long enough to heat through. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve, or serve the sauce separately in a sauceboat. Accompany with rice or potatoes, mixed vegetable salad, or a green vegetable.
