Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Slice onions into 1/4-inch thick rings. Juice and zest limes. Slice peppers into thin rings, keeping seeds intact.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a 14-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Sear chicken skin-side down 4 minutes without moving until skin darkens. Flip and sear other side 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Step 4
Add onions and peppers to the same skillet, stir, and cook 4 minutes until onions begin to soften and char at the edges.
Step 5
Stir in mustard, lime juice and zest, broth, bay leaves, and 0.5 tsp salt. Return chicken skin-side up. Simmer 8 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
Step 6
Serve chicken topped with caramelized onions and peppers. Spoon sauce over everything.
