For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the lime juice and cumin mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables like diced cucumber or tomatoes for added freshness and crunch. This salad is best served chilled, allowing the flavors to fully develop. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute it with additional chicken broth or water.
