Place a lid over you pan and cook on a low to medium flame for an additional 8 minutes. Turn off and remove chicken breasts (save the broth or liquid contents that is in the pan for later use). You may want to place the chicken on a paper towel covered plate to drain off the oil. Cut the breasts into portions or ½ inch cubes / strips.
- In a new frying pan add the other Tablespoon of Corn oil and place over a low flame.
- Fry the chopped onions for 2 to 3 minutes. Now add the cumin, oregano and the liquid you have reserved from when you fried the chicken breasts. Also add red wine and 1 teaspoon of fresh lime-juice. Cook or simmer on a low flame for a few minutes, sufficient to blend and integrate everything in the pan and evaporate some of the water. Turn off and allow to cool down.
- In a mixing bowl, add the ½ cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of lime juice, raisins, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and salt & pepper to taste.
- Add this mayonnaise mixture in your bowl to the pan and mix well.
- Your crazy Dominican chicken is ready.

The creaminess and combination of flavors create a taste explosion that is only culminated by the dancing swirls of aromas wafting in the air as you prepare this dish. I did however boil my chicken breast in seasoned water instead of pan frying it. After boiling the chicken breast I shredded and followed the rest of the steps.
