Santa Fe (Fay) Chicken

Picked up this recipe from an Oprah Show I watched. Tried it and made it my own. I have marinated this dish from 24 hours to just a few minutes but love it anyway. It somehow feels like it is Indian. Maybe the spices give it that effect.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• Marinade

• 3  limes, juice of
• 1⁄4 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cumin powder
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons coriander powder
• 6  cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons honey
• 2  whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1⁄4 cup white wine (I use rum and water combo or stock and rum)
• 3  tablespoons  chopped cilantro leaves

Directions

1. Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl well.
2. Pour into a shallow baking pan and lay the chicken breasts in.
3. Cover and refrigerate for one hour (to even 2 days. But I would advise that if you are keeping it for over an hour or two do not add the lime juice to it. Add it a couple of hours prior to cooking it.) Preheat the broiler.
4. After one hour, when the chicken has absorbed all the flavors of the marinade, pour in the white wine and the chopped cilantro.
5. Broil the chicken under a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes, basting it with the juices to keep it moist.
6. Serve it in the pan juices.
7. P.S. You can bake(at 180C) and pan grill this too with equally good results.
