Steps:
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthways.
- Put all of the ingredients into a ziplock bag and stir them all about so everything is coated and mixed up.
- Marinate for at least 4 hours, but try to leave them over night if you have the time.
- Cook the chicken as you usually would, we used a griddle pan on a medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, but these can go in a regular pan, the oven or even on the BBQ!
- Don't forget to give it one last squeeze of lemon juice to give it that extra kick!
- Enjoy!

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.

MOJITO MARINADE
This versatile marinade can be used for pork tenderloin or chicken... poured it over cooked veggies or potatoes.... or toss it with a green salad. A chipotle pepper is an option if you want to give it a bit of a kick. The rest of the chipotles can be frozen and removed individually for another use.
