Easy Recipe For Chicken Mozambique
Ingredients
- 1 lb white meat chicken boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 packet Goya Sazon with Culantro y Achiote
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp pepper sauce adjust to taste
- 1/2 cup Portuguese white cooking wine
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate The Chicken
- Start by seasoning your chicken with salt, pepper, and the Goya Sazon with Culantro y Achiote.
- Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. The achiote in the Sazon gives the chicken a beautiful golden hue and infuses it with a rich, savory flavor.
Step 2: Sauté The Aromatics
- Melt the unsalted butter in a big skillet over medium heat. Once it’s sizzling, add the minced garlic and chopped shallot.
- Sauté them for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. This forms the flavor base for the dish.
Step 3: Cook The Chicken
- Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides.
- The garlic and shallots will coat the chicken beautifully, creating an irresistible aroma in your kitchen.
Step 4: Add The Sauce Ingredients
- Now, pour in the Portuguese white cooking wine and chicken broth. Stir in the pepper sauce for that signature heat.
- Let everything simmer together for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. The chicken will become tender, soaking up all the wonderful flavors.
Step 5: Garnish And Serve
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Your Chicken Mozambique is now ready to serve!
