From
Dodger training camp, Ricardo
Rodriguez calls his mother
back home:
“I’m fine,”
he says, “I’m
getting used to things…The
food? Imagine this, I’m
afraid of the chicken. But
I don’t let on.”
Here’s a recipe for
Caribbean chicken, similar
to what Ricardo’s
mother makes back home in
the Dominican Republic.

Crazy Dominican
Chicken |
Ingredients
6 chicken breasts (cook
as per instructions and
cut into 1/2-inch portions)
1/2 cube chicken bullion
1 tsp. powdered seasoning
(Maggi, Adobo or other "all
spice")
3 tbsp. corn oil
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 small onion (chopped)
2 tsp. powdered curry
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine
1 bay leaf
2 tsp. fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. oregano
Salt and ground pepper to

Instructions
1) Put
2 tbsp. of corn oil in a
frying pan over a medium

or dress the chicken breast
with powdered seasoning
(not breadcrumbs).
3) Fry
the chicken breasts for
about 3 minutes on each
side.
4) Add
1/2 cup of water and the
1/2 chicken bouillon cube
by breaking it into a powder
with your fingers over the
pan.
5) Place
a lid over the pan and cook
on low to medium for 8 minutes.
6) Turn
off heat and remove chicken
breasts (save the broth
for later use).
7) Put the chicken
on a paper towel-covered
plate to drain off the oil.
8) Cut
the breasts into 1/2-inch
cubes or strips.
9) In a
new frying pan, add the
remaining corn oil and place
over a low flame.
10) Fry
the chopped onions for 2
to 3 minutes.
11) Add
the curry, thyme, oregano
and chicken broth (left
over from frying the breasts).
Also add an additional 3/4
cup of water, the red wine
and 1 tsp. of fresh lime
juice.

or simmer on a low flame
for a few minutes. Turn
off and allow the mixture
to cool down.
13) In
a mixing bowl, add the 1/2
cup of mayonnaise, 1 tsp.
of lime juice, raisins,
salt and pepper.
14) Strain
off the liquid from the
frying pan. Add 1/2 cup

mixture in the bowl (without
the onions).
15) Add
the chicken to the bowl
and toss it together with
the remaining ingredients.
