Wine-Baked Chicken Breasts

Submitted by Minnesota Camp Cook

"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."

I really liked this recipe. The sauce was wonderful and the house smelled great while it was cooking. I think that the sauce was even more flavorful the next day with the leftovers! The only reason that it didn't get 5 stars is because I think the cooking time is probably longer than it needs to be. I used skinless boneless chicken breasts and my chicken was really dry. The sauce helped, but it didn't flavor the interior of the chicken. Next time I would cut down the cooking time and just check the chicken to make sure it was cooked through. Oh...I followed the recipe exactly using 3 breasts and good red wine that was probably a little past it's prime in an opened bottle. Still made a wonderful sauce.
