OUSSA


 

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, paprika, pepper, and lemon juice.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  3. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for later.
  3. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and caramelized.

Step 3: Create a Glaze

  1. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet with the chicken.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and let the marinade simmer for 2–3 minutes, creating a sticky, flavorful glaze.
  3. Spoon the glaze over the chicken as it cooks to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

  1. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon or lime slices for added brightness.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or buttery rice for a complete meal.
