Mama's Mojito Chicken image

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.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 -4 lbs chicken or 2 -3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup rum
1/2 cup mint, chopped
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon lime zest (optional)
1/4 cup sugar
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon cayenne
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup onion, diced
2 tablespoons cumin (We love cumin but if you are not cumin crazy, reduce it by half)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

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.
  • Note: Feel free to adjust seasonings to your liking. Amount of hot pepper can be increased or omitted if you prefer.
