Poulet Yassa

Ingredients

• •1.5 lbs chicken pieces (thighs and breasts)
• •6 medium onions, sliced
• •1 cup fresh lemon juice
• •3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• •3 garlic cloves, minced
• •2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• •1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• •1 cup chicken broth
• •2 bay leaves
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. 1Combine chicken pieces with half the lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. 2Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Set aside.
3. 3In the same pot, sauté sliced onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard and cayenne pepper.
4. 4Return chicken to the pot and add remaining lemon juice, chicken broth, and bay leaves.
5. 5Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 35-40 minutes until chicken is very tender.
6. 6Uncover and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to reduce sauce slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings.
7. 7Serve hot with rice or couscous, pouring the caramelized onion sauce over the chicken.
