Mojo Chicken Breast Recipe
This is a quick and tasty grilled chicken dish. The use of Cuban Mojo sauce perks up a boneless skinless chick breast. Use whatever spices you like to season the chicken before grilling. I chose a combination of Pasilla pepper, cumin, garlic pepper and salt. I served the chicken with a strawberry jicama salsa, baked plantains, grilled squash and mushrooms. As for a wine with all the acid in the sauce I selected a Jacuzzi Family Vineyards 2010 Arneis which has a lemon lime finish and is crispy when chilled. Aneis means "Little Rascal" in Italian. It can be a difficult grape to grow in Italy. Fortunately in Sonoma County it does very well.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, boneless/skinless, tied with kitchen twine
- 1/4 tsp ground Pasilla pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp garlic pepper
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cup Mojo sauce (recipe link is provided below)
- 1 ea large zucchini
- 1 ea large Portabello mushroom, gilled and cleaned
Directions
- Grill the chicken breasts on high heat. Total cooking time on my small gas grill was about 12 minutes. Baste the chicken and vegetables liberally during the last coup of minutes of grilling. Serve with remaining Mojo sauce at the table.
