Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix minced garlic, lime juice, orange juice, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F internal).

  3. Step 3

    Transfer chicken to a plate. Add sausage links to the same skillet and cook 6–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned.

  4. Step 4

    While sausage cooks, air-fry or oven-bake yuca fries and tostones according to package directions until crispy.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange chicken, sausage, and all crispy sides on serving plates. Drizzle chicken with any pan juices.
