Pollo Asado
by Brava Chef Erin
About this Recipe
Pollo asado is a flavorful Mexican marinated grilled chicken dish that’s cooked with an array of spices, as well as orange and lime juice for its traditional punch of flavor. Here, Chef Erin marinates the chicken before searing in the Brava to replicate the flavor of cooking it on the grill. Serve with fresh lime wedges or with warmed tortillas to make tacos.
