Unleash the Power of Lemon in Pollo Asado: Olla GM’s Secret Ingredient

Pollo asado is a classic dish that is loved by many for its juicy and flavorful meat. But what if I told you that you can take this dish to the next level by adding a secret ingredient? That’s right, the secret ingredient is lemon! Lemon not only adds a refreshing and zesty flavor to the dish but also helps to tenderize the meat, making it even more succulent. In this recipe, I will show you how to unleash the power of lemon in pollo asado using an Olla GM.

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken, about 4-5 pounds

2 lemons, sliced

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 teaspoon of cumin

1 teaspoon of paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 cup of chicken broth

Preparation:

Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to coat it evenly.
Place the sliced lemons on the bottom of the Olla GM’s inner pot. This will help to infuse the chicken with the citrusy flavor of the lemon as it cooks.
Place the marinated chicken on top of the sliced lemons in the inner pot of the Olla GM.
Pour the chicken broth around the chicken in the pot. This will help to keep the chicken moist during the cooking process.
Cover the Olla GM with its lid and set the pressure valve to the sealing position.
Cook the chicken on high pressure for **25 minutes**.
Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for **10 minutes** before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
Remove the chicken from the Olla GM and let it rest for a few minutes before carving and serving.
Enjoy your juicy and flavorful lemon-infused pollo asado!
