Preparation

For the pasta

For the filling

• In a pan, preheat olive oil and cook the garlic, after a minute, add the chicken and let it brown all over over medium heat. Once it has reached an ideal point, remove it leaving the pot on the fire. Save the chicken for later.

• In the same skillet, add more oil and the onions. Cook over low heat, take the opportunity to add the salt and pepper, and wait for them to become transparent (it will not take more than 15 minutes, also watch that they are not going to burn).
• Once the onion has crystallized, add the chicken again and add the chicken broth, the white wine and the sugar, stir everything very well. Put the lid on the pot and let everything cook for half an hour over medium heat, don’t forget to stir from time to time.
• Once this time has passed, you should have a thick mixture as a result, correct the salt and if you wish, add more pepper. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
