How do you cook the chicken when your making tacos Sante Fe style?

I'm cooking dinner for my boyfriend tonight and I want to make Sante Fe style tacos. I want to make them with chicken, but I have no cooking experience. I know that I'm supposed to buy boneless chicken, but what kind should I get? And how do I cook it?How do you cook the chicken when your making tacos Sante Fe style?

Mix together marinade ingredients in a bowl, stirring thoroughly. Pour into a shallow baking pan and lay the chicken breasts inches Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.


Preheat the broiler.


After 1 hour, when the chicken has absorbed all the flavors of the marinade, pour in the white wine. Broil the chicken under a medium flame for 8-10 minutes, basting it with the juices to keep it moist.


Transfer the chicken to a platter and slice it at an angle. Garnish each piece with a little of the pan juices, a dollop of Mock Sour Cream or low-fat sour cream, slices of lime, and a scallion firecracker, as well as a dollop of salsa.
