Mojo chicken is often served with white rice.
Mojo chicken is a popular Cuban chicken dish that has a spicy, fresh flavor. While it is most commonly prepared on the grill or in the oven, it can also be prepared in a crock pot. The advantage to cooking Mojo chicken in a crock pot is that it can be prepared ahead of time and is more saturated in flavor due to hours of cooking in the marinade. Mojo chicken is most commonly served over rice and is sometimes served with a side of black beans.
Instructions
1. Collect ingredients for marinade along with six chicken breasts. Create marinade that is enough for six chicken breasts in the slow cooker by combining the onion and garlic in a blender or a food processor until both are very finely chopped.
2. Add orange juice, lime juice, cumin, oregano, lemon-pepper, black pepper, salt, cilantro, and hot sauce. Blend with chopped onion and garlic.
3. Add olive oil and blend with rest of ingredients until smooth.
4. After marinade is created, pour a shallow layer at the bottom of a crock pot. Season defrosted chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper prior to adding to the crock pot. Add chicken breasts and cover with remaining marinade. Make sure chicken breasts are covered in liquid to ensure that they do not dry out.
5. Place lid on crock pot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until chicken is cooked throughout. Turn off crock pot until ready to serve.
6. When ready to serve, remove the chicken from the crock pot and place in a dish. You can also put the sauce in a dish for guests who want extra sauce for added flavor. Serve alongside rice and beans.
