Method

For the Mofongo

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and cut them into 1-inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Fry the Plantains

    In a large skillet, heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom over medium heat. Add the plantain slices and fry them until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Mash the Mofongo

    In a mortar and pestle (or a large bowl), combine the fried plantains, sautéed garlic, pork cracklings, salt, and half of the chicken broth. Mash until well combined. Add more chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency.

For the Garlic Chicken Breast

  1. 5

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 6

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 7

    Serve

    Slice the garlic chicken breast and serve it alongside the mofongo. Enjoy your meal!
