Instructions:

1. Prepare the Grill/Broiler:

   • Get your grill (indoor or outdoor) ready or preheat the broiler.

2. Prep the Chicken:

   • Pound the chicken breasts until they reach a thickness of 3/4 inch, then set them aside.

3. Heat the Skillet:

   • Heat a heavy skillet over high heat for 3-4 minutes.

4. Make the Sauce:

   • Pour the white wine into the skillet and boil for 1-2 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.
   • Reduce heat to medium.
   • Stir in soy sauce, garlic, and black pepper, cooking until just combined for about 1 minute.
   • Add butter and stir until melted.
   • Remove skillet from heat.

5. Coat the Chicken:

   • Dip the chicken breasts into the sauce, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated.

6. Grill/Broil the Chicken:

   • Place the breasts 3-4 inches from the heat source (or on an indoor grill).
   • Cook for a few minutes until done to your liking.
   • Remove from the heat and let sit for about 5 minutes.

7. Slice the Chicken:

   • Slice the breasts into slim, finger-length strips.

8. Assemble the Fajitas:

   • Arrange a platter with the chicken strips and accompany it with tortillas, onions, pico de gallo, guacamole, tomatoes, and bell pepper rings.
   • Let everyone build their own fajitas by filling tortillas with chicken and garnishes.

9. Marinated Onions:

   • In a small saucepan, reduce the white wine to 1 cup.
   • Add soy sauce and chiles, then stir.
   • Place onions in a medium bowl and pour the marinade over them.
   • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
   • Serve the onions cold as a garnish or heat them in a double boiler and serve warm.
   • Marinated onions can be stored for at least 10 days.
