How to make it
- I didn't have all the ingredients, but had most. My substitutions are in the Ingredient's list.
- Season chicken breasts with cumin, cayenne, salt, and paprika. Place chicken breasts in 3-4 quart crock pot, add butter, garlic, shallots, 2 tablespoons lime zest, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, and rum, and chick peas(if using). Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
- Stir in cubed bell peppers, mint, thyme, and tomatoes. Cover and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 hours.
- Prepare rice seperately during this time.
- Remove Mojita Pepper Chicken to serving platter with rice and garnish with fresh lime wedges and sprigs of mint and thyme.
- Notes: If preparing this dish prior to work or a full day of activities, you may prepare the bell peppers, tomatoes, and herbs in advance. Then upon returning home, just stir these in to complete the preparation of this entree.
