FOR THE GARLIC MOJO SAUCE

- Juice from 1–2 limes, to taste
- Salt to taste
Directions

- Oil sheet tray, season chicken with oil, salt, and California Love.
- Add broccoli and mushrooms on the sides to fill up space without overcrowding and piling them up. Drizzle olive oil on the veggies.
- Bake chicken and veggies for 20–25 minutes.
Meanwhile make the Garlic Mojo Sauce
- Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot add the chopped garlic and turn off the heat, stirring to make sure garlic browns evenly. Turn the heat back on if it stops sizzling before the garlic is golden but make sure to turn off the heat before adding spices. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add Mombacho Café, cilantro and lime juice.
- Season with salt and more lime juice if needed.
- Set the sauce to the side.
- Serve chicken and veggies over brown rice and arugula.
- Finish with garlic mojo sauce. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
A meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken thigh will assure you it is done when it reaches 165°F (chicken thighs are quite forgiving if the thinner parts reach a higher temperature!)
