Steps:
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthways.
- Put all of the ingredients into a ziplock bag and stir them all about so everything is coated and mixed up.
- Marinate for at least 4 hours, but try to leave them over night if you have the time.
- Cook the chicken as you usually would, we used a griddle pan on a medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, but these can go in a regular pan, the oven or even on the BBQ!
- Don't forget to give it one last squeeze of lemon juice to give it that extra kick!
- Enjoy!

MAMA'S MOJITO CHICKEN
We have come to adore this chicken. Part of a meal I created for RSC 8 recipe#161348. Here is just the chicken for those who want a simpler recipe. We use boneless skinless chicken breasts but use whatever you like. This marinade is enough for one whole chicken cut up or 8 pieces. I have included the weight just to give you an idea. Of course, it will weigh more if the pieces have bones.
