About Achiote marinated chicken

Achiote Marinated Chicken is a flavorful dish inspired by Latin American cuisine, notably Mexican and Central American traditions. This recipe features chicken marinated in a blend of achiote paste, citrus juices like orange and lime, garlic, and spices, giving it a vibrant color and earthy, tangy flavor profile. Achiote, derived from annatto seeds, is rich in antioxidants and believed to support skin health and digestion. Lean chicken provides a high-quality source of protein, making it a nutritious choice for muscle repair and sustained energy. The citrus marinade enhances the absorption of vitamins and minerals while keeping the dish tender and moist. While low in fat if grilled or baked, preparation methods like frying or pairing with heavy sides may increase its calorie content. For a balanced meal, serve it alongside fresh vegetables or whole grains.
