Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat chicken breasts dry and flatten slightly with the heel of your hand to ½-inch even thickness.

  2. Step 2

    Stir minced garlic with lime juice, 2 tbsp oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper to make mojo marinade. Rub generously over both sides of chicken.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange chicken, french fries, yuca fries, and chorizo on a large sheet pan. Drizzle fries and sausage with 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 12–14 minutes. Chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F and juices run clear.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven. Chicken should be golden and edges crispy; fries should be golden-brown and tender inside.

  6. Step 6

    Serve chicken with crispy fries, yuca, and chorizo on a plate. Drizzle pan juices over chicken if desired.
