Arepa with Cuban Mojo Chicken — A Caribbean Twist on Colombian Comfort Food

Juicy citrus-garlic mojo chicken meets a warm, handmade Colombian arepa in this bold fusion recipe. Two cultures. One extraordinary bite.

Ingredients

• 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas

• 2 chicken thighs

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• ¼ cup orange juice

• 2 tbsp lime juice

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp oregano

• Salt and pepper

• Fresh cilantro to garnish

How to Make It

1. Mix garlic, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper into a marinade.

2. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes — overnight is best.

3. Cook chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat, 6–7 minutes per side until golden.

4. Slice and place on a warm arepa.

5. Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

A Taste of Cuba

Mojo is Cuba's signature citrus-garlic sauce — bright, garlicky, and perfect against the mild sweetness of a Colombian arepa. Two island cultures, one plate.
