The ingredients for Yassa Chicken are:

8 pieces of chicken or 1 whole chicken cut up
Juice of 2 limes
Splash of lemon juice
3 large onions, sliced
1 habanero pepper, seeded and diced (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup water

*We also added a cup of leftover diced bellpeppers. I have also seen versions with leeks, carrots, and whatever else you might want to include.

Here is how you make Yassa Chicken:

Makes 4-8 servingsCombine lemon and lime juice, onions,habanero, and 4 tablespoons of the canola oil to make a marinade. You can also add salt and pepper to taste.Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, be sure they are well coated, and marinate them for at least 2 hours. Preheat the broiler to the highest setting. Remove the chicken pieces and reserve the marinade. Place the chicken pieces on the broiler rack and grill them briefly until they are lightly browned on both sides. (If you cook like me, at this time you will also be fanning smoke alarms furiously) Remove the onions from the marinade and saut? them in the remaining oil. Cook them slowly until tender, then add the reserved marinade. When the liquid is thoroughly heated, add the chicken pieces. Add the water and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Serve hot, over white rice. If you prefer not to tangle with the broiler, this dish can also be made in one pot. Brown the chicken in the pan and remove while sauteing the onions and veggies then return it to finish cooking.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FRANKIEGA.
