Finally here is the final chicken recipe in a series of three. One pack of six chicken breast, three different recipes. For the last recipe, I used that wonderful garlic mojo that I had prepared a few weeks before. An overnight marinade and the next day, some of the most flavorful chicken tacos. The garlic mojo recipe was adapted from Chef Rick Bayless and I wished i would have prepared a batch alot sooner. Spend an afternoon preparing some mojo, salsa, tortillas and when the mood strikes, taco night!! Not only was it great for marinating, but I also added it to some cooked pasta for extra flavor. So here’s to another tasty chicken recipe you can add to your menu plan. The next time you come across that great sale on chicken breast, don’t pass it up. Instead, plan ahead!

If the boneless chicken breast are extra large, split it in half or butterfly them. This will make for more even cooking and extra portions.
If outdoor grilling is not your thing, cook the chicken breast on a stove top grill pan or skillet coated (pre-heated at medium heat) with a little olive oil. Sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side. If extra thick finish cooking in a preheated 350 degree F oven for an additional 10 to 13 minutes.
The Garlic Mojo was so falvorful, all I added was some fresh lime, radishes, cilantro and grilled serrano pepper. Tasty!!
