Preparing the Mojo Sauce

To make the mojo sauce, you'll need fresh ingredients such as citrus fruits, garlic, cilantro, and spices. These flavors come together to create a zesty and aromatic sauce that will enhance the taste of the chicken.

Start by juicing the citrus fruits and finely chopping the garlic and cilantro. Then, blend all the ingredients in a food processor until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Once the mojo sauce is ready, pour it over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate and infuse the chicken, resulting in a tantalizing taste.

Cooking the Chicken

Once the chicken has marinated in the mojo sauce, it's time to cook it. Preheat your grill or a skillet to medium-high heat.

Place the marinated chicken on the grill or skillet and cook it for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

While the chicken is cooking, you can brush some of the remaining mojo sauce on top for extra flavor.

Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and tender chicken.
