From Cooking Light. I had to look up where Senegal is. It is in far western Africa.
Ingredients:
6 cups onions, sliced
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 (about 2 pounds)
4 skinless chicken leg quarters (about 2 pounds)
cooking spray
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 cups carrots, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup pimento stuffed olive
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 scotch bonnet pepper, pierced with a fork
4 cups hot cooked long-grain rice
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients; divide evenly between 2 (1-gallon) heavy-duty zip-top plastic bags.
2. Divide chicken evenly between bags; seal bags. Toss each bag well to coat. Refrigerate 3 hours, turning bags occasionally.
3. Preheat broiler.
4. Remove chicken from bags, reserving marinade.
5. Place chicken on broiler rack coated with cooking spray; broil 6 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
6. Strain marinade through a colander over a bowl, reserving marinade and onion.
7. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; sauté 5 minutes.
8. Add reserved marinade; bring to a boil.
9. Cook 1 minute; add chicken, carrot, broth, olives, water, mustard, and Scotch bonnet pepper.
10. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour or until chicken is done. Discard Scotch bonnet. Serve over rice.
