PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F. Start by peeling and slicing the plantain into 1/2-inch thick diagonal pieces.

  • 2

    Lightly toss the plantain slices with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.

  • 3

    While the plantains are roasting, prepare the chicken. In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, ancho chile powder, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil to create a spice paste.

  • 4

    Pat the chicken breast dry and rub the spice paste evenly over the surface.

  • 5

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 2-3 minutes per side to develop a flavorful crust, then lower the heat and cover, cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (about 6-8 minutes total, depending on thickness).

  • 6

    If needed, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions; for a quicker option, use pre-cooked brown rice warmed through.

  • 7

    To plate, slice the chicken breast and serve it alongside a serving of brown rice and a few pieces of roasted plantain. Enjoy the complex flavors of the chocolate-chile seasoning matching the sweetness of the plantains.
