Let's Cook

Step 1.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, finely chopped garlic, and chili powder. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, about 7 minutes.

Stir in the salsa and chicken broth, then whisk in the Nutella until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 3.
Season the chicken pieces with ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Add the chicken to the pot, nestling it into the sauce. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the chicken simmers, prepare the yellow rice according to package directions.
