Home Style Mojo Chicken Recipe with Garlic and Lemon

What you need

• 8 chicken legs
• 2 teaspoons Xtra Mojo
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 brown onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon thyme
• 1 bunch coriander, leaves and roots chopped
• 1/2 red capsicum, diced
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 carrot, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon salt

Method

1. Marinate the chicken legs with the Xtra Mojo, lemon juice and garlic. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy based pan over medium high heat. Sear the chicken in small batches until golden on both sides, then set aside.
3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, carrot, coriander roots and capsicum and cook for about 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the tomatoes and thyme and cook briefly.
4. Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the stock. Cover and cook over low heat for about 40 minutes, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
5. Finish with fresh coriander leaves.
6. Serve hot with roast potatoes or steamed rice to soak up the garlic and lemon sauce.
