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.
