Fabulous Fritos Cuban Cooking

Ingredients:
  • Pollo Frito (fried chicken)
  • 3/4 cups Cuban Garlic Lime Marinade
  • 1/2 cups honey
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon vodka
  • 1 tbsp oil
Boniatos Fritos (fried sweet potatoes)
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 large carrot
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • salt to taste
Directions:
Prep Time: 4 hrs  Total Time: 4 hrs 30 min   Yield: 2 meals
  1. Pour marinade and honey in ziplock with chicken, place in refridgerator for maximum 4 hours (lime juice will tenderize chicken too much). Can also freeze for OAMC.
  2. Before chicken is ready, prepare the potatoes and carrots by cutting them julienne style, but a little larger, not quite as large as french fries.
  3. Place veggies in frying pan with oil and fry on medium heat (4-5 out of 10 on your element).
  4. Once chicken is ready to be cooked, drain all marinade and place in frying pan with oil, sautee with garlic until most of pink colouring is gone.
  5. Add vodka to chicken and simmer on low-medium heat (3 on your element), heat until liquid is reduced and chicken is browned all over.
  6. Once veggies are mostly cooked through and soft turn heat up to high-medium heat (6 on your element) and cook for about 5 minutes until somewhat crispy on the outside.
  7. Serve together.
