The sauce, also known as mojo criollo, requires very little chopping and provides a tangy counterpart to the cumin-rubbed chicken. Serve over white rice. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
1/4 cup orange juice |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
Directions:
1. To prepare chicken, combine brown sugar, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper; rub over chicken. Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan; keep warm.
2. To prepare sauce, add garlic to pan; sauté 30 seconds. Add juices and honey; cook 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and mint. Serve with chicken.
