Chicken Skewers
Cilantro Slaw
Pickled Jalapenos
Method
Chicken Skewers
Prepare Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Marinate Chicken
Add achiote paste, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Skewering
Thread the marinated chicken onto wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
Cilantro Slaw
Prepare Vegetables
In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, chopped cilantro, and grated carrot.
Dress Slaw
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine.
Chill
Refrigerate the slaw for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Pickled Jalapenos
Pickle Jalapenos
Place the sliced jalapenos in a clean jar. Pour the hot pickling solution over the jalapenos, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Cool and Store
Let the jar cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. The jalapenos will be ready to use after a few hours, but they're best after 24 hours.
