Mojo Chicken Bowls Recipe

Recipe By Southern Living

You can never have enough flavorful chicken dinners in your recipe box. Incredibly versatile and forgiving, chicken is the weeknight savior that takes care of the family in just mere minutes, which is more than can be said for other more finicky proteins. Those arent welcome in our kitchen on a busy wednesday night, thats for sure. What is always welcome? These flavor-bursting chicken bowls that feature all the makings of the classic cuban mojo marinade and sauce (orange juice, oregano, garlic, jalapeno, lemon juice, and lime juice) and are served with yellow rice, charred onions, and avocado. So basically, youll never go back to your plain grilled chicken ever again. Test kitchen tip: garlic is an integral flavor in mojo sauce. This recipe calls for 10 cloves, but dont worry; it isnt overpowering. Save prep time by using a food processor to chop up the cloves or purchasing bottled minced garlic.
