Chicken

Ingredients:

1 kg/2.2 lbs Chicken breast fillets – cut each fillet to 4 big chunks

1 medium Lemon – squeeze out juice

1 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Pepper

1/4 cup Vegetable oil, or as needed

Procedure:

  1. Marinade chicken in lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover and keep chilled for 30 minutes
  2. Place a skillet over medium to high heat. Brush pan with oil, about 1 tablespoon. Sear chicken, a few pieces at a time, until golden brown on the exterior but still raw inside (this method will keep chicken moist and will add more flavor to the stew).
  3. Remove chicken from pan and set aside in a bowl or plate. Repeat steps with remaining chicken and vegetable oil.
