Cuban Pollo a la Plancha is a citrus-marinated &amp; seasoned chicken breast that&#39;s griddled to juicy, golden brown perfection and then topped with sauteed onions. Super easy to make and the absolute most delicious way to keep chicken breast moist and tender. You&#39;ll never have boring chicken breast ever again!

Cuban Pollo a la Plancha (Easy Griddled Chicken Breast)

boneless, skinless chicken breasts

mojo marinade ((or use storebought))

sazon completa

neutral oil (or unsalted butter

onions

On a cutting board, place chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, slightly pound the chicken breasts until they&#39;re 1/4-inch thin. Don&#39;t skip this step! Pounding chicken breasts tenderizes the meat which helps it cook evenly and results in a juicier texture.

In a shallow dish, add the chicken breasts. Pour the mojo marinade and season with homemade sazon completa on both sides. Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.

In a griddle, grill pan, or large skillet, heat oil at medium heat. Working in batches, remove chicken breasts from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place them on the pan.

Cook them for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve with white rice, black beans, and/or sweet plantains. Enjoy!

Pollo a la plancha is another winning recipe.  I tried it out last night and was blown away by how good it came out.  Whenever I try a new recipe, I always hope to get close to what my local Cuban restaurant would do, but in this case, I think the pollo a la plancha is better than what I had at the restaurant.  I used Iberia Mojo Marinade bought on Amazon, olive oil for cooking the chicken, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly, and the chicken was incredibly moist and flavorful.  And so easy.  The prep time for this dish is minimal.  Going forward, Pollo a la plancha will definitely be featured regularly at my household.

Probably one of the best chicken dishes I've made to date. I never leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share how much I love this recipe. So authentic, juicy and flavorful chicken. (I am also a Miami native)  Definitely going to be making this a ton!

Fantastic recipe!!! Thank you so much, this was a hit with the whole family.

This was absolutely delicious!!  I honestly was not sure because there are so few ingredients but that ended up being the best part. it was super easy and I am making it again this week.

Great dish.  Easy.  Served with black beans, rice and plantains.  Have shared with several friends!

This Cuban Mojo Marinade will add a Latin flair to your grilled and baked meats. Citrusy and garlicky, this exotic and refreshing marinade whips up in 10 minutes or less.
