Method

Marinate the chicken in lime juice, garlic, Salsa Lizano, salt and pepper for twenty minutes.
Cook the rice loose and warm the beans with a spoon of their liquid.
Dice the chayote and carrot small and stew them with garlic for ten minutes; that is the picadillo.
Fry the chicken over medium heat, six minutes a side.
Fry the ripe plantain slices to a caramel colour.
Toss the shredded cabbage with tomato, coriander, lime juice and salt.
Build the plate in sectors: rice, beans, chicken, picadillo, salad, plantain — unmixed.
