I give this recipe 5 stars because the end result was amazing. I did not follow the recipe exactly and I didn't have all the ingredients. I made jasmine rice instead of potatoes, and I did not use tortilla because it really wasn't necessary, I wanted something lighter. I didn't have corn in the house so I skipped that too. I substituted 1 teaspoon of Indian green chili sauce for spice since I was also out of jalapenos. I put the salsa directly on top of the sliced chicken with the rice on the side. It was delicious. My boyfriend loved it and we had enough leftovers for another full dinner.

Why is it called "mojo marinated chicken" if the chicken isn't actually marinated? The salsa was not bad, but nothing special either. If you are not a huge potato fan(like myself it works well with rice too. I'll probably end up making it again with a few adjustments, like a cilantro lime MARINADE as the name implies. Still love Herb despite being a little disappointed with the recipe :

My husband and I were inspired by this recipe and so we gave it a shot last night after watching the show.

Our chicken was GREAT! We let ours rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. It was very moist and had a lot of flavor.

We felt that the salsa needs the most tweaking. We think it would help to sweat the tomatoes longer but it could have been due to the fact that we used red cherry tomatoes in lieu of the roma's. We also ended up giving it a good dash of garlic salt to help pull it all together.

We sliced our potatoes into big flat slabs. We would use a zippie bag to distribute the oil, salt and pepper instead of a bowl so that you can get them coated better. We would also add some garlic next time, but once again a great idea that we will use again! Our potatoes needed a little more time than the recipe indicated on both the stove and the grill in order to get good color and be cooked thoroughly.

We did not think that the tortilla was necessary or that it brought much to the table. Save the carbs!

SO....we think the entire meal earns a good review with a 4 out of 5 rating. It did take us longer that the recipe stated. I would give yourself 40-45 minutes in you are handy in the kitchen and maybe an hour if you aren't!
