Achiote Citrus Chicken is a vibrant dish inspired by traditional Latin American cuisine, known for its bold flavors and colorful presentation. The chicken is marinated in a blend of achiote paste, citrus juices like orange and lime, garlic, and spices, which infuse it with a tangy and earthy depth. Achiote, derived from annatto seeds, is rich in antioxidants and adds a striking reddish hue. The use of fresh citrus not only enhances flavor but also provides vitamin C. Grilling or baking the chicken keeps it lean and lower in calories, making it a heart-healthy protein source. While this dish is nutrient-packed, it’s essential to monitor salt levels in the marinade if you're watching sodium intake. Perfect for pairing with whole grains or steamed veggies, Achiote Citrus Chicken is a lively and health-conscious option for any meal.
