Equipment

  • Blender
  • 1 Sealable bag or bowl
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • Aluminium Foil
  • Steamer

Ingredientes

Marinade:

  • 1 tbsp Achiote paste (Annato Seeds paste)
  • 1 ts Salt
  • ½ Orange (the juice)
  • ¼ C White Vinegar
  • 1 Garlic Clove (big or 2 small ones)

Chicken:

  • 4 Pieces Chicken
  • 1 Carrot cut in slices
  • ¼ Onion cut in slices
  • 1 jalapeno pepper cut in strips (optional)

Elaboración paso a paso

  • Blend the marinade ingredients all together.
  • Do a few cuts on your chicken pieces to help it marinate better.
  • Put your chicken pieces into a sealable bag or bow, adding the marinade.
  • Let it rest on the fridge for at least three hours. (If you don't have time, you can cook it right away, but I highly recomend to let it rest to intensify the flavors).
  • Cut two pieces of aluminium foil. Place all your vegetables in one of them. Add your chicken and the marinade at the top of your vegetables.
  • Cover with the other piece of aluminium foil and seal it.
  • Steam it for around 40 to 50 minutes.
