Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs.)
GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper, to taste
1/4 cup GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic, or 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/8 tsp. GOYA® Oregano Leaf
1 cans (8 oz.) GOYA® Tomato Sauce
12 GOYA® Manzanilla Olives Stuffed with Minced Pimientos, thinly sliced
2 tsp. GOYA® Capers
1/2 GOYA® Bay Leaves
1 GOYA® Pickled Jalapeno Pepper, finely chopped (about 1 tbsp.)
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1. Place chicken breast between plastic wrap sheets; using mallet, pound chicken to ¼" thickness; repeat with remaining breasts. Season chicken with adobo. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until light golden brown on both sides, flipping once, about 7 minutes; set aside.

  • 3. Transfer chicken to pan; cook, flipping once, until coated in sauce and cooked through, about 15 minutes more. Remove chicken from pan; stir remaining oil into tomato sauce mixture.
  • 4. To serve, divide chicken and sauce evenly among serving dishes; sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with rice and lime wedge.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I usually add a little extra garlic and cumin, and I always serve it with avocado slices. Yum!

This was my first time making Chicken Veracruz, and it was a disaster. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was bland and flavorless. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.
