Step-by-Step Instructions for Fizzy Chicken

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon-lime soda, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt. Stir well to ensure the flavors meld together.
  2. Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor absorption.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later use) and pat it dry with a paper towel. This step ensures a nice sear.
  3. Place the chicken in the skillet and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Step 3: Add Aromatics

  1. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté them alongside the chicken until they begin to soften and release their aroma.

Step 4: Simmer with the Marinade

  1. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, ensuring the chicken is partially submerged. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
  2. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 5: Reduce the Sauce

  1. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
  2. Increase the heat to medium-high and reduce the marinade to a thick, glossy sauce. This step enhances the flavors and creates a delicious glaze for the chicken.
