Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and cut them into chunks. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the plantains. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from skillet, shred the chicken, and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Garlic Oil

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.

  4. 4

    Mash the Plantains

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked plantains, shredded chicken, and chicharrón. Pour the garlic oil over the mixture and mash everything together until well combined. Gradually add the chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the mofongo onto a serving plate, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.
