Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup mojo marinade store-bought or homemade
- 2 teaspoons homemade sazon completa
- 2-3 tablespoons neutral oil or unsalted butter for pan frying

Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until they are about 1/4-inch thick.

- Heat oil or butter in a griddle, grill pan, or large skillet over medium heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place the chicken breasts in the hot pan.

- Serve the grilled chicken with white rice, black beans, and/or sweet plantains.
Notes
For added flavor, consider topping the chicken with sautéed onions. You can also serve this dish with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a lighter option.
