Whisk in olive oil to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

Lightly dust each chicken piece with seasoned flour.
Warm half of the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes on one side.
Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain on a paper towel, pouring off excess oil.
Return the pan to high heat, add 1 cup of water, scrape well to deglaze, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
Set the deglazed pan aside.
In a heavy casserole over medium heat, warm the remaining olive oil.
Add the minced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes, stirring to avoid burning.
