    List of Ingredients




    Low Fat Chicken Pibil


    1/4 cup achiote paste
    10 cloves garlic, peeled
    2 teaspoons cumin seeds
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
    1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
    1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
    6 bone-in chicken breasts
    6 banana leaves (optional), cut into 10-inch squares and toasted over a burner about
    2 seconds per side
    12 slices tomato
    6 slices onion
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter

    2 medium onions, diced
    2 cups chicken stock


    Recipe



    1. Combine the achiote paste, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, orange and lime juices, vinegar,
    salt and pepper in a blender. Puree until smooth. Pour into a non-reactive baking
    pan, add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator 2
    to 24 hours.


    2. Preheat the oven to 375°F.


    3. Cut six 16 x 14-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. If using banana leaves,
    place 1 on top of each piece of foil. Center a piece of chicken on each, reserving
    the marinade. Top each with 2 tomato slices and 1 slice of onion. Wrap and seal
    the banana leaf and the foil to enclose. Place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the
    oven and bake 45 minutes.


    4. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté
    the onions until golden brown. Stir in the reserved marinade, bring to a boil and
    cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and cook 10 minutes
    longer. Reserve.


    5. When the chicken is ready, remove from the oven and open the packets. Transfer
    the chicken, with the banana leaves if using, to serving plates. Pour any excess
    juices from the pan into the sauce. Pour the hot sauce over the chicken and serve
    with rice.
