  1. Rub the chicken with the oil and garlic, and sprinkle with chile powder. Grill over a medium-hot fire or bake until the juices run clear.

Add the wine, stirring to deglaze the bottom of the pan, and simmer until the vegetables are tender. Add the cream, marjoram, salt, and pepper and cook until the cream is slightly reduced. Add cheese to thicken. If the calabacitas is ready before the chicken, keep it warm, or reheat gently at serving time.
