CITRUS CILANTRO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Take citrus and roll it on counter. Smash it to loosen up the inside and help the juices break out, this is the fun part! Squeeze out as much juice as possible into a marinating dish or large plastic bag. I scooped out the flesh from the peel and put in my dish, too, but if you prefer not to have the pulpy part you can leave it out. A little zest would be nice, too.
• Add soy sauce and margarita mix.
• Add chicken, chopped onion (I like it in big long pieces), cilantro, and mix it up. Allow to marinate in refrigerator 1-2 hours, but not too much longer because the citrus will start breaking down the meat.
• Heat large pan (mine is non-stick) and add the mixture. Let it start to simmer (about 3-4 minutes).
• Add in garlic and greenbeans and let cook about another 7 minutes or until chicken and green beans are cooked through. You could add some red pepper flakes to give it some heat in this step if you like a little more spice.
• Pile ingredients on one side of the pan and add in the cornstarch. Let it start to simmer and watch it start to bubble. It'll take about two minutes.
• Mix it through and heat about another minute then remove from heat. The longer it sits the thicker the sauce will be.
• I like to serve it over white basmati rice (and throw in a bay leaf while rice cooks for a little unique flavor).

PERUVIAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SPICY CILANTRO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together garlic, soy sauce, aji amarillo paste, lime juice, aji panca paste, mustard, cumin, pepper and salt.
• Add chicken halves, turning to coat them all over with marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil.
• Roast until skin is golden and chicken is cooked through, 35 to 45 minutes (if using chicken parts, remove the breasts after 25 to 35 minutes). Remove from oven and let sit, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes before serving.
• While chicken is roasting, make the sauce. In a blender, blend cilantro, jalapeños, feta, garlic, lime juice, oregano, salt, mustard, aji amarillo paste, honey, and cumin until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in oil until mixture is emulsified. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt or lime juice or both.
• Carve the chicken and serve with the sauce and lime wedges on the side.
