SANTA FE (FAY) CHICKEN

• Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl well.
• Pour into a shallow baking pan and lay the chicken breasts in.
• 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.
• After one hour, when the chicken has absorbed all the flavors of the marinade, pour in the white wine and the chopped cilantro.
• Broil the chicken under a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes, basting it with the juices to keep it moist.
