    Chicken in Mojo Pan Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    Cooking Pleasures, Feb/March 04


    Recipe Introduction


    Mojo is a garlicky citrus vinaigrette that's a staple of Cuban cooking. While it's the perfect complement to these chicken breasts, it also adds a lively zip to shrimp or pork chops.


    List of Ingredients


    • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
    • 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp salt, divided
    • 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper, divided
    • 1 tsp cumin seeds
    • 2 T olive oil
    • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
    • 1/4 cup orange juice
    • 2 tsps lemon juice
    • 2 thin orange slices
    • 2 thin lemon slices
    • 2 T chopped fresh parsley, divided


    Instructions


    1. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with 1/4 tsp of the salt and 1/4 tsp of the pepper. Press cumin seeds into both sides of chicken.
    2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 7 to 9 minutes or until golden brown and no longer pink in center, turning once. Place on plate; cover loosely with foil.
    3. Add garlic to skillet; cook and stir 30 to 60 seconds or until fragrant. Add orange juice, lemon juice, orange slices, lemon slices and 1 T of the parsley. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Stir in remaining 1/8 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
    4. Serve chicken with sauce; spoon lemon slices and orange slices over chicken, if desired. Sprinkle with remaining 1 T parsley.
