Directions
Poulet Yassa (Senegalese Chicken With Onions and Lemon), Poulet yassa is a famous Senegalese dish that has become popular throughout Western Africa The long marinating of the chicken in the lemon juice helps to tenderize the tough poultry found in the region I did not include marinating time Enjoy!, This dish was absolutely fabulous! used 8 skinless/boneless chicken thighs (hubby’s fave) and marinated them overnight, using 4 medium onions and 3 jalapenos (although I did leave the ribs and seeds out of half of one of them, afraid it would be too hot otherwise) I did use the dijon mustard, which I think really makes the recipe unique, and added all the veggies: cabbage, carrots, *and* olives I served it over brown rice to rave reviews I’ve loved all the African recipes I’ve tried over the years, but this one is *really* special Thanks so much for posting!, Poulet yassa is a famous Senegalese dish that has become popular throughout Western Africa The long marinating of the chicken in the lemon juice helps to tenderize the tough poultry found in the region I did not include marinating time Enjoy!
