Rinse and dry the chicken pieces. Sprinkle with lemon juice, thyme, salt,
and pepper. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salt

chicken pieces. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove all meat with
a slotted spoon. Add the onions and reduce the heat. Saute for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, tomatoes, bay leaves, and wine. Stir, and cook for 10
