SAZON
This is a copycat version of sazon, which I always use in Puerto Rican dishes. Other versions of this recipe call for only paprika or turmeric. I find adding both achieves the reddish-orange color without affecting flavor. The salt in this recipe can be reduced or omitted as many dishes call for additional salt. I prefer to omit and just add salt as needed to dishes while I'm cooking. I hope you will enjoy it!

SAZóN
Cumin-heavy sazón is among the most commonly used spice blends in Puerto Rican cooking, and is also popular throughout Latin America. This seasoning is an incredible cheat, and is typically found in the international section of most supermarkets. Commercial brands are flavor bombs pumped with monosodium glutamate - MSG - that can make almost anything taste better. While I'm not MSG-phobic, I do prefer making my own blends to control both the flavor and the salt content. This is my take on sazón, minus the MSG, and with turmeric added along with the standard annatto to imbue dishes with a golden hue. Adaptation is encouraged based on preference, and if you can't find ground annatto then sweet paprika is a perfect substitute. It will keep in an air-tight container for years.

SAZóN CHICKEN BREASTS
This stovetop method of cooking chicken breasts in a sazón-heavy marinade produces juicy, fragrant, well-seasoned meat. It definitely stands up as a main course, but leftovers make for great additions to salads and tacos. The breasts benefit from an overnight marinade, which will make the meat juicier and more flavorful, but the dish can come together in 45 minutes if you're short on time. This recipe also works great with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Because they're often thinner and fattier, they may cook a little more quickly than breasts.

Steps:
- In a small food processor, combine the garlic, orange juice, olive oil, sazón, salt and pepper; pulse until it forms a creamy marinade. (Alternately, you can finely mince the garlic, then combine it with the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a fork.)
- Pat the chicken breasts dry, then transfer them to a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade on top, close, shake, then gently massage the seasoning into the meat. Let sit on the counter for at least 10 minutes. (Chicken can also be marinated overnight then set out to come to room temperature before cooking.)
- Heat a large nonstick wok or deep skillet over medium-high. Add marinated chicken breasts, one by one, and pour over about half the marinade. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, flipping frequently with tongs and being careful not to let them get too dark too fast. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the breast, flipping often to ensure meat is cooked through. Thinner chicken breasts will take less time to cook, so monitor the color and texture of your meat as it cooks. Check doneness by pressing the center with your tongs. If the center is still squishy, continue to cook until meat has a bit of resistance (though not rock hard), and registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
- Let rest in the pan off-heat for a few minutes. Serve, pouring over any remaining pan juices if desired.

Steps:
- In a small, dry skillet, combine cumin seeds and both kinds of peppercorns.
- Roast over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until lightly toasted & fragrant. Transfer to small bowl to cool.
- In a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle, grind the roasted spices until they are a fine powder.
- Stir in salt, garlic powder and oregano.
- Store sazon in airtight containers in cool, dark place.
Tips:
- Use a variety of spices: Sazon is a blend of many spices, so don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations. Some common spices used in sazon include cumin, oregano, garlic, and paprika.
- Adjust the heat level to your liking: Sazon can be made mild, medium, or hot, depending on your preference. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder. For a milder flavor, omit the spicy peppers.
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh spices and herbs will give your sazon the best flavor. If you can, use fresh garlic, onions, and cilantro.
- Toast the spices before using them: Toasting the spices will bring out their flavor and aroma. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
- Store sazon in an airtight container in a cool, dry place: Sazon will keep for up to 6 months when stored properly.
Conclusion:
Sazon is a versatile seasoning that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for chicken, fish, beef, pork, vegetables, and rice. It can also be used as a rub for meats or as a dipping sauce. With so many ways to use it, sazon is a must-have in any kitchen.
