Marinate chicken in lemon juice, mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper for at least 1 hour.

Slice onions and green peppers thinly.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add marinated chicken and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove chicken and set aside; add sliced onions and green peppers to the pot.

Sauté onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, and scotch bonnet pepper.

Return chicken to the pot, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until cooked through.

Add sliced carrots and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Remove scotch bonnet pepper and bay leaves before serving.

Serve chicken yassa over cooked rice.
