Ingredients for Awesome Mojo Chicken Breasts

  • 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Mojo Criollo
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

How to Make Awesome Mojo Chicken Breasts

  1. Place 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large freezer bag.
  2. Pour 1 cup of bottled mojo sauce over the chicken breasts.
  3. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  5. Arrange chicken breasts in two 13x9 inch baking pans.
  6. Pour remaining marinade over the chicken.
  7. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder evenly over the chicken.
  8. Cover the baking pans tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
