INGREDIENTS LIST FOR THE ASADO CHICKEN RECIPE
- 3 pounds (1 and a half kilogram) Breast of chicken
- Two to three medium-sized zucchini, chopped; eight minced garlic cloves
- Two tsp of oregano
- A single spoonful of smoky paprika
- two tsp powdered cumin
- 60 milliliters, or 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 60ml, or 1/4 cup, lemon juice; additional for serving
- Half a teaspoon of powdered onion
- Half a teaspoon of chili flakes
- 60 milliliters, or 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
- To prepare the recipe for Asado chicken breast, mix together the paprika, cumin, olive oil, lemon juice, onion powder, oregano, garlic, and chili flakes in a dish. Before adding the chicken breast, taste and adjust the lemon and salt.
- Include the chicken breasts and coat them completely. Chilled chicken breasts should be covered and marinated for at least half an hour. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and save aside the marinade for later use before cooking.
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook chicken breasts on both sides for about 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F (74°C). Place the chicken breast on a platter and return to the heat.
- Season and add the chopped zucchini to the same pan. Add a small amount of oil as needed, along with salt, pepper, and red chili pepper flakes (if used). Add the remaining chicken marinade and sauté the zucchini for two to three minutes on medium-low heat. Sauté the zucchini in the marinade sauce for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the zucchini are cooked and the sauce has somewhat reduced.
- Place cut chicken breasts on top of the sautéed zucchini and sauce that has been divided among dishes or bowls. Serve the chicken with the sautéed zucchini, topped with fresh parsley that has been cut and lemon slices. Have fun! It is strongly suggested to add an additional squeeze of lemon juice just before serving the Asado chicken. Have fun!
