I served this Mexican chicken several times to friends and family and got millions of compliments for it. It’s that good! You can serve this chicken with a bowl of plain or fried rice, or wrapped in a heated up tortilla.
This recipe uses Mexican oregano, which lends the chicken its citrusy flavor. It’s quite different from regular Mediterranean oregano.
Adding one fresh jalapeno pepper will make the chicken moderately spicy. If you want more heat, add another one. If you are after mild spiciness, slice the jalapeno pepper and soak in water for a couple of hours before cooking. This dish is best served hot. So have your rice, tortillas or whatever you are going to serve it with ready before you take the pan out of the oven. Top the chicken with some Mexican crema and you will be in heaven.
