Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the chicken
- Set aside half the smoky spice blend for the pumpkin seeds.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt, pepper, and half the smoky spice blend.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly. Cut the chicken into ½-inch-thick slices. Do not clean the pan.
While the chicken is cooking and cooling, prepare the vegetables.
2
Prep and cook the vegetables
- Cut away any core from the cabbage; coarsely chop the cabbage.
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper into ¼-inch-wide strips.
In the same pan used for the chicken, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the chopped and shredded cabbage, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften and brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the bell pepper and cook until the pepper starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl, add the Cuban mojo, and toss to coat; season to taste with salt and pepper. Wipe out the pan.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the cilantro.
3
Prep the cilantro; toast the pumpkin seeds
- Strip the cilantro leaves from the stems; set aside the leaves for garnish.
In the same pan used for the vegetables, warm 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the pumpkin seeds and toast, stirring often, until golden brown and starting to pop, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate, season lightly with salt and the remaining smoky spice blend, and let cool.
Serve
Transfer the cabbage and bell pepper to individual bowls and top with the chicken. Garnish with the cilantro and pumpkin seeds and serve.
