I cooked and liked, but it took longer to cook. i live is bogotá that is 13.000 feet hogh, so i don't know if thats the reason

The altitude might be a factor in the cooking time. I researched this on Google and there was no conversion factor that I could find. I suggest you use a meat thermometer to measure doneness. 165 - 170 degrees Fahrenheit is done for a chicken breast.
