I just love the flavors of Cuban food. With lots of citrus, garlic, cilantro and spices, it is something I could eat every day. I found I could create the slow-cooked flavor using my pressure cooker, and my family is now eating Cuban food a lot more. \u2014Courtney Stultz, Weir,

All the liquid cooked down and left chicken with just the spices. and a citrus flavor. My family is watching carbs so I made a chopped lettuce salad and placed chicken pieces on top. We loved that it wasn't too spicy and had a very good flavor. Not sure I would call this a cuban chicken but I would make this again as a topping for salads.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2022-10-15","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedClover"},"reviewBody":"This needs some Adobo or something. Really you can get Badia's or Goya's Mojo marinade then add the recipe seasonings. Marinate the chicken for 5-6 hours for flavoring and letting the chicken tenderize in citrus juices (at least 15 mins. for the outside to get seasoned. If you put the chicken breast in an instant pot add the broth cook, then drain and set it aside. You can brown the now tender chicken in a pan with high heat and some oil. Then shred it and add \"pan drippings\" or strained meat juice to the chicken. Adding black beans make this more authentic too. Chopped cilantro can go on top of the chicken.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2022-06-23","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CyanFlame"},"reviewBody":"I\u2019m giving it a one star, which I hardly ever do.
