Chicken Asado my way

• This recipe has been adapted using two 

different recipes and methods.

I did this stove top but you can use boneless 

chicken breasts and grill the chicken.

          Note:  I did not use the achiote powder or the cilantro but left it in as it may be something you might have and want to use.

               

                 1lb. Chicken breasts pieces 

                Marinade:

                1/3 cup orange juice (the juice of one orange)

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

                 1 tsp. Coriander 

2 garlic cloves minced

                ****1tsp. Achiote powder optional 

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon cumin

****1/4 cup cilantro minced( optional) 

Combine the orange juice, lime juice, vegetable oil, garlic, chili powder, salt, cumin , coriander and cilantro in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth. 


Add the chicken to the marinade. Flip several times to make sure that the chicken is completely coated. Cover and marinate for 2 to 24 hours. 


Remove the chicken from the marinade and discarde the excess marinade. 

In a large frying pan place about 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.  On medium heat Place seasoned chicken in pan.  With a large spoon stir chicken while cooking as not to stick.  Turn heat to high and keep stirring to brown chicken.  After chicken has browned and no longer pink.   add about 1/4 cup water to pan , stir to incorporate and cover.  

Do not overcook.
