Chicken Breasts Mandalay Recipes

From "Grand Slam" of the "Best of Bridge" series. This was a group of ladies in Canada who, many years ago, formed a bridge group in which the cards and food seemed to share equal importance. They decided to put some of their wonderful recipes into a cook book which was published and proved to be a huge succes. They went on to produce at least 5 more cookbooks and it seems they are still friends! I still go to my "Best of Bridge" cookbooks for ideas.

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.
