Step 1

Grilled Lemon-Garlic Chicken: Toss together chicken, mojo criollo and 1/4 cup cilantro. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight; remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Toss together chicken, oil, lemon juice, garlic and adobo seasoning.

Step 2

Preheat grill to medium heat, grease grates well. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is golden brown, skin is crisp, and instant-read thermometer inserted in center reaches internal temperature of 165°F. Grill lemon halves, cut side down, for 4 to 6 minutes or until charred and juicy. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Chickpea Salad: Whisk together oil, vinegar, parsley, mint, garlic, adobo seasoning and oregano. Toss together chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper, red onion, jalapeño and dressing. Let stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with queso fresco (if using).

Step 4

Garnish chicken with remaining cilantro and grilled lemons. Serve with chickpea salad. Note: Substitute pinto beans, lentils or white beans for chickpeas if desired.
