THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS
The downfall of most baked chicken breast recipes is the long time in the oven that dries out the lean meat before it can fully cook through. We've solved that problem with a couple of secret weapons. The first is white wine added to the baking dish, which creates steam. (While we think it's worth using wine, you could substitute stock or even water.) The second is a piece of parchment paper placed directly on top of the chicken to lock in the moisture during baking. The result is the best boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are plump and juicy, with a minimum of hands-on time. A bunch of parsley and lemon slices infuse the dish with fresh flavor and the seasoning is neutral enough that the chicken can be used for a variety of different meals. Serve it alongside vegetables and grains, shredded into soup, spiced up for tacos or chopped on top of salad. Feel free to switch up the herbs and citrus if you have leftovers in the fridge to use up.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the parsley in the center of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the lemon slices. Pour the wine around the parsley. Brush the tops of the chicken with the olive oil and season with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices. Cut an 8-by-10-inch piece of parchment and place it on top of the chicken.
- Bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. The chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
WINE-BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS
This fills the house with the most delicious aroma. I use skinless chicken breasts to cut fat and low sodium soy sauce to cut salt. It is very easy and is one the first recipes I made using wine. Use any good quality dry red wine that you enjoy drinking. Do not use wine labeled as a 'cooking' wine as it is likely to be a poor quality wine that has had salt added to it.

Tips for Making the Best Baked Chicken Breasts in Red Wine
- Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts. The bones and skin help keep the chicken moist and flavorful as it bakes.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Sear the chicken breasts in a hot skillet before baking. This will help to create a crispy skin and lock in the juices.
- Use a flavorful red wine. A dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Simmer the sauce until it is slightly thickened. This will help to concentrate the flavors of the wine and the chicken.
- Serve the chicken breasts with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. This will make a complete and satisfying meal.
