Mama's Mojito Chicken
We have come to adore this chicken. Part of a meal i created for rsc 8 recipe#161348. Here is just the chicken for those who want a simpler recipe. We use boneless skinless chicken breasts but use whatever you like. This marinade is enough for one whole chicken cut up or 8 pieces. I have included the weight just to give you an idea. Of course, it will weigh more if the pieces have bones.
Steps
Combine all marinade ingredients together in a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into a zipper seal bag.
Add chicken breasts and allow to marinade in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
Discard marinade after that time.
At this point the chicken may either be roasted in the oven at 425 f or cooked on a grill.
Cook just until meat is no longer pink in middle , about 20 minutes.
Turn once during cooking.
Amount of hot pepper can be increased or omitted if you prefer.
