Mama's Mojito Chicken image

We have come to adore this chicken. Part of a meal I created for RSC 8 recipe#161348. Here is just the chicken for those who want a simpler recipe. We use boneless skinless chicken breasts but use whatever you like. This marinade is enough for one whole chicken cut up or 8 pieces. I have included the weight just to give you an idea. Of course, it will weigh more if the pieces have bones.

This recipe is a disaster. The chicken was dry and the sauce was watery.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken and it turned out great.
