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.

47 CHICKEN BREAST RECIPES THAT ARE (ACTUALLY) FULL OF FLAVOR

- Chicken Cordon Bleu. Chicken cordon bleu is the ultimate, classic stuffed chicken breast recipe. To make it, you’ll pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts thin, fill them with slices of ham and cheese, and fry them in a breadcrumb coating.
- Classic Chicken Noodle Soup. We wouldn’t be mad if you used orzo, pastina, or even tortellini in this chicken noodle soup, but the ideal choice is ditalini.
- BA’s Best Chicken Parmesan. We tested this iconic dish for six weeks to attain the ample flavor (garlic and garlic powder, rich tomato sauce) and textural contrast (crispy fried chicken, gooey melted mozzarella) we wanted.
- Chicken Salad With Citrus and Chile Oil. With a double punch of acid from citrus and vinegar, and a chile crisp-inspired dressing, this roasted chicken salad is equipped to deliver big, bold flavors.
- Chicken Piccata. If you hate boneless skinless chicken breasts and you’ve somehow made it this far in the recipe collection, we’re grateful because this one will convert you with its buttery white wine and caper sauce.
