Photo: Limon Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves
- Salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 pounds yellow onions, halved and sliced
- 3 tablespoons yellow Peruvian chile or aji amarillo paste (or diced green chiles)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 5 to 6 lemons
Directions
Season both sides of the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan, add the chicken and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and add the onions and garlic and cook at medium-low heat until the onions are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the yellow chile and return the chicken to the pan. Spoon some of the onions over the chicken, cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until chile sauce has completely infused the mixture and the chicken is cooked through. Add the lemon juice and cook another 10 minutes, to allow flavors to meld.

This recipe need a little help. First, only use the juice of one lemon. That is simply enough. I also used chicken thighs instead of breast since I hate chicken breast.
I also cooked this in a large Le Creuset (sp? cast iron with enamal pan which I swear by and seems to enhance flavor. If you do this the recipe is amazingly tasty.
I rated this only a 3 star since as the recipe is I don't think anyone would like it.

YUMMY! Yummy! Yum! I loved this recipe very much because I love lemons. I loved them in the onions. What is also nice about this recipe is that you can adjust flavors (i.e more, less lemons, more less chile. But, recipe is just right the way it is.
