MOJITO {chicken}

One of my favorite recipes to make is mojito chicken. It's delicious, easy and relatively healthy, I could eat it every day! It's definitely a must to add to any family cook book.

This is what you need:

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pound cut-up skinless boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup rum
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 cup couscous, cooked according to package directions

Directions:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and sugar and cook 3 minutes, until soft stirring with wooden spoon. Add chicken and saute 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Add lime juice and carefully, off the heat, add the rum. Return to the heat and add lime zest, salt, pepper and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve chicken, garnished with mint, over couscous. Delicious!

I usually serve it with asparagus that's been baked in the oven with roasted almonds, sprinkled with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy with a mojito!
