Pollo Asado Recipe

INGREDIENTS 

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup orange juice

• 1/4 cup lime juice

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

METHOD:

• In a bowl, mix together olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

• Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

• Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.

• Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the chicken.

• Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

• Slice the chicken and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

• Serve the Pollo Asado with your choice of side dishes such as rice, beans, tortillas, or a fresh salad.
