Santa Fe (Fay) Chicken image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Serve it in the pan juices.
  • P.S. You can bake(at 180C) and pan grill this too with equally good results.
