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 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt, divided
  
• 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
  
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
  
• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  
• 2 thin orange slices
  
• 2 thin lemon slices
  
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
  






Instructions



1. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with 1/4
   teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon 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 tablespoon of the
   parsley. Bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up any
   browned bits from bottom of skillet. Stir in remaining
   1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
   
   
4. Serve chicken with sauce; spoon lemon slices and
   orange slices over chicken, if desired. Sprinkle with
   remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
