Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the red wine, soy sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar, ground ginger, minced garlic, and oregano until the brown sugar is fully dissolved. (5 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Add the sliced chicken to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated in the flavorful marinade. (3 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Transfer the marinated chicken and sauce to a casserole dish, spreading the chicken in a single layer. (2 minutes)

05

Step
1 hrs

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, approximately 1 hour. (60 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, in the refrigerator before baking.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. If you prefer a tangier sauce, reduce the brown sugar or add a splash of red wine vinegar.
Serve with a side of steamed broccoli or asparagus for a complete and balanced meal.
The quality of the red wine greatly impacts the flavor of the sauce. Choose a wine you would enjoy drinking on its own.
If the sauce appears too thin after baking, you can thicken it by simmering it in a saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes after removing the chicken from the oven. Be careful not to overcook the chicken while thickening the sauce.

    I used chicken thighs instead of breast, and it was even more flavorful and juicy.
