Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 teaspoons achiote seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon grapefruit juice
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
15 ounces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 teaspoon corn oil
1 cup thinly sliced onion
2 medium fresh hot chili peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded, and sliced
1 medium tomatoes, cut into 4 equal slices

Steps:

  • To prepare the achiote paste, in spice mill or mini-jar blender, combine achiote and coriander seeds, salt, peppercorns, cinnamon, oregano, cumin seeds and cloves; process to a coarse powder.
  • Transfer spice mixture to small bowl. Add vinegar, garlic and flour; stir to combine. Let mixture stand overnight.
  • To prepare chicken, in gallon-size sealable plastic bag, combine prepared achiote paste, lime juice, grapefruit juice, orange juice and zest; add chicken. Seal bag, squeezing out air, turn to coat chicken. Refridgerate overnight, turning bag occasionally.
  • To prepare vegetables, in medium non-stick skillet, heat oil; add onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 10-12 minute until onion is golden brown. Stir in peppers, remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheet with foil. Cut four 12 inch squares of heavy duty foil; spray with nonstick cooking spray (omit this if using banana leaves).
  • Drain chicken, discard marinade. On each prepared foil square (or banana leaf) place one quarter of the chicken, one quarter of the onion-pepper mixture, and one tomato slice. Fold sides over filling, crimping to seal. Place packets on prepared baking sheet; bake 20 min until chicken is cooked through. Let stand 10 min; open packets carefully.
  • 4 points per serving (1 packet).

This pollo pibil is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken I had, and it turned out great. The sauce is really flavorful and the chicken is nice and tender.
