1. 1
   Prepare the first marinade by grating a large onion, then add olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic paste, and ginger paste. Mix well.
   ▶ ≈1:16
2. 2
   Cut the 400g chicken breast into strips, similar in shape to chicken tenders, taking care not to cut them too thin.
   ▶ ≈1:36
3. 3
   Add the chicken strips to the onion marinade and coat well. If time permits, refrigerate the chicken in this marinade.
   ▶ ≈1:51
4. 4
   Heat a pan with olive oil and place the chicken pieces in without moving them initially, allowing them to sear well.
   ▶ ≈2:06
5. 5
   Flip the chicken halfway through cooking and continue on gentle heat until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through, approximately 10 minutes total.
   ▶ ≈2:14
6. 6
   Prepare the finishing sauce: in a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon mustard. Add finely chopped chives.
   ▶ ≈0:14
7. 7
   Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the sauce, add a pinch of salt, and optionally add a bit of parsley. Mix well until smooth, fresh, and slightly thick.
   ▶ ≈0:27
8. 8
   Immediately plunge the hot cooked chicken into the prepared sauce. The heat from the chicken will allow the sauce to penetrate and be absorbed, making the meat tender and juicy.
   ▶ ≈0:47
9. 9
   Gently mix to coat each piece of chicken thoroughly. The sauce will adhere directly to the hot chicken and be absorbed for maximum flavor.
   ▶ ≈0:55
