Step 1
Mix garlic, orange juice, lime juice, and 2 tbsp olive oil in a bowl. Place chicken in a zip-top bag, pour mojo marinade over, seal, and set aside.
Step 2
Start yuca fries and tostones in separate air fryer baskets at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking halfway.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Sear in the skillet 5–6 minutes per side without moving until golden and internal temp hits 165°F.
Step 5
In the same skillet, sear peppers and onions 4–5 minutes until charred at edges, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Serve chicken alongside yuca fries, tostones, and grilled peppers & onions. Drizzle with any remaining mojo sauce.
