Yassa (Senegalese Lemon Chicken) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 cups sliced onions
    1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
    4 skinless chicken breast halves
    4 skinless chicken legs
    1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
    2 cups carrots, thinly sliced
    1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
    1/2 cup pimento stuffed olive
    1/2 cup water
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1 habanero pepper, pierced all over with a fork
    4 cups hot cooked long-grain rice
Preparation
    Combine first 5 ingredients; divide evenly between 2 (1-gallon) heavy-duty zip-loc plastic bags. Divide chicken evenly between bags; seal bags. Toss each bag well to coat. Refrigerate 3 hours, turning bags occasionally.
    Preheat broiler.
    Remove chicken from bags, reserving marinade. Place chicken on broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 6 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
    Strain marinade through a colander over a bowl, reserving marinade and onion. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; saute 5 minutes. Add reserved marinade; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute; add chicken, carrot, broth, olives, water, mustard, and Habanero pepper. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour or until chicken is done. Discard Habanero pepper. Serve over rice.
