  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish.
  4. Pour the red wine mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are coated.
  5. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
