  I like how quick and convenient this was but I'm not convinced by the sauce. I'm not a fan of massively citrus-y sauces but this just tasted like spicy Tropicana on a chicken breast. I'll use the tip of halving and flattening the chicken and chargrilling it again but the sauce I'll happily repress from my memories. Please. If I can.

  I bought the ingredients for this on the weekend and was a bit worried when I saw the review for it yesterday. I decided to change the sauce up a bit, desperate not to make 'spicy tropicana'. I added more garlic, a teaspoon of red wine vinegar,one red chilli, smoked paprika (i put loads- dont think you can have enough paprika!), bit of chilli powder and half a lemon instead of the lime. First I fried the garlic with chilli and the cumin seeds and then added the mixture to the juice zest and red wine vinegar. I dont have the means to chargrill so I just fried the chicken for about 10 mins and added the mojo sauce to the frying pan for the last 2 mins. It was really delicious, fresh, filling but not fattening- and I will definately make this again.

  Really liked this recipe. I did add a splash of balsamic but I tend to do that with everything.

  mojo sauce doesn't go well with chicken, maybe a little bit too sour.

  Really tasty and delicious - perfect with fine green beans on the side.
