About Chicken achiote
Chicken Achiote is a flavorful dish rooted in the culinary traditions of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It features chicken marinated in a vibrant blend of achiote paste—made from annatto seeds—citrus juices like orange or lime, garlic, and spices such as cumin or oregano. The achiote paste imparts a distinct earthy, slightly peppery flavor and a rich red hue to the dish. Often grilled, baked, or slow-cooked, Chicken Achiote is typically paired with rice, beans, or tortillas. Nutritionally, the dish is high in protein and contains antioxidants from the annatto seeds. Citrus juice adds vitamin C, supporting immune health. However, depending on preparation, it may include added oils or sodium, so moderating portion sizes can help maintain balanced nutrition. Chicken Achiote is both a celebration of Mexican cuisine and a wholesome option when enjoyed mindfully.
