These delicious breasts are prepared in a traditional Cuban way, with garlic mojo and a hint of lemon. It's a dish where the chicken remains very juicy and has a flavor that will make you want to keep eating it. You can serve them with some white rice.

Preparation

40 mins

Medium

Place the chicken breasts inside a plastic bag and flatten them with a hammer or meat mallet. Season the flattened breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side (until the chicken is well done). Remove the breasts from the skillet and keep them on a covered plate. In the skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the broth has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the lemon juice. On a serving platter, arrange the chicken breasts and pour the butter, garlic, and lemon sauce over them. Garnish with cilantro and lemon wedges.
