INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 medium Green Plantain
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
1 sprig Fresh Thyme
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 medium Tomato (diced)
2 tbsp Red Onion (finely chopped)
1/2 small Jalapeño (minced)
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Peel the plantain and cut it into 1-inch thick diagonal slices. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the plantain slices until they are lightly golden on each side, then remove them from the pan. Lightly flatten each slice using a fork or tostonera and return them to the pan to fry for an additional 1-2 minutes per side for extra crispiness.
While the plantains are frying, preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breast for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden.
In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomato, red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Season with a little salt and a squeeze of lime juice if desired to make the fresh pico de gallo.
Plate the crispy plantain tostones alongside the sliced herb-marinated chicken, and top with a generous spoonful of pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
