Mojo Chicken with Avocado and Mango Salsa

Serves 4
Time 8 hrs 40 min

Garlic and citrus zest come together in a class Cuban-style mojo marinade that is perfect on chicken, steak or tofu. We used the same flavors in a Caribbean-style mango salsa that pairs perfectly with easy stove-top chicken breasts, though grilled would be perfect, too!
