Exotic Chicken Achiote Recipe

in #food8 years ago

Good day Steemers! Today on Sircarlo's Steemit cafe, I have a special treat... hope you're hungry.

A little background..Achiote comes from the annatto seeds found in the achiote tree (Bixa Orellana). Typically used in Latin American cuisines among others, todays dish will include a delicious recipe found in the Mexican Caribbean.


Ingredients for Chicken:

  • 2 Lbs of chicken breast
  • 1 Lb of baby yellow potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons of Olive oil
  • 2 Garlic crushed
  • 1/2 Red onion (thick sliced)
  • 1 Red bell pepper(thick sliced)
  • 1 Cup of fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 Tablespoon of fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 3/4 Achiote paste
  • 3/4 of butter
  • 1 Tablespoon of knorr chicken flavor powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions On Preparing Chicken Achiote: Cut up chicken breasts into strips and season with salt and fresh pepper. On a blender add the orange juice, lime juice, achiote paste and butter and blend for about a minute. Turn burner on high and on a pan put olive oil and sautḗ the garlic peppers and onions for about 5 minutes, then add the blended mixture, potatoes, chicken and rest of ingredients. Let it simmer on medium heat.


Let it simmer at medium heat for about 20 minutes and.....

Voila!!! It is now ready to serve, have it with some rice and enjoy.
