Ingredients for Baked Chicken And Wine

  • Chicken Breasts
  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • Romano Cheese
  • Breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • White Wine
  • Green Onions

How to Make Baked Chicken And Wine

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Place the breaded chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake, covered, for 20-25 minutes.
  6. While the chicken is baking, prepare the wine sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly reduced.
  8. With about 5 minutes remaining in the chicken's baking time, remove the cover from the baking dish and pour the wine sauce evenly over the chicken.
  9. Bake, uncovered, for the remaining 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
