Ingredients

Garlic-Oregano Marinade: 

Roasted Pepper and Black Olive Relish:

Saffron-Tomato Rice:

Directions

  1. Combine the vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, honey, ancho chili powder, garlic and oregano in a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. 
  2. Place the marinade in a large shallow baking dish, add the chicken pieces and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. 
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 
  4. Heat a large saute pan until almost smoking. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste. Saute the chicken until golden brown on both sides. Place the chicken on a large baking sheet and place in the oven, bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove from the oven and let rest, 5 minutes.
