Step-by-Step Instructions for Fizzy Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
- 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.
- 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
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 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.
- Place the chicken in the skillet and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: Add Aromatics
- 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
- 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.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 5: Reduce the Sauce
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
- 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.
