Rhum and pepper-painted-chicken

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Mango-Habanero Mojo; see recipe
¾ cup Rhum and Pepper Paint; see recipe
4 Boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon Peanut oil
4 Lime wedges; for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spread the paint liberally on the curved side of the fillets (paint on the skin side). Heat a large cast-iron skillet until almost smoking. Add the peanut oil and carefully lay the fish in the skillet, paint or skin side down. Shake the pan a few times to prevent the fish from sticking. Cook the fish until dark on the painted side, about 2 minutes. Turn the fish over and drain the oil from the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 7 to 9 minutes (15-20 minutes for chicken).

Warm the mojo through the ladle about ½ cup onto each serving plate.

Remove the fish from the oven and place the fillets on top of the mojo.

Serve with the plaintains and a wedge of lime.

Note 1 eep an eye on the plantains as they get close to done, because they will burn easily if unattended. Note 2 nstead of chicken breast halves, OR 4 black grouper fillets (or dolphin fish or red snapper), about 8 ounces each MC formatted & Busted by Barb at Possum Kingdom on 3/17/98 NOTES : Air date ¾/98
