Mofongo Con Pollo Al Grill Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Mofongo

   Peel the green plantains and cut them into thick slices. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat and fry the plantain slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

2. 2

   Mash Plantains

   In a mortar and pestle or using a fork, mash the fried plantains with garlic cloves and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined. You can add chicken broth gradually to achieve your desired consistency.

3. 3

   Grill the Chicken

   Season the chicken breasts with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.

4. 4

   Plate the Dish

   Shape the mofongo into a mound on a serving plate. Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on top of the mofongo. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
