Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

02

Step
10 mins

Scatter the chopped onion and butter pieces evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

03

Step
40 mins

Place the panko bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, then press each breast into the crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coated chicken breasts atop the onion and butter mixture in the baking dish. (10 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the chicken juices run clear when pierced with a fork, approximately 40 minutes. (40 minutes)

05

Step
30 mins

While the chicken is baking, whisk together the red wine, chili sauce, and red currant jelly in a medium bowl until well combined. (5 minutes)

06

Step
10 mins

Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts. Return the dish to the oven and continue baking until the sauce thickens and forms a glossy glaze on the chicken, about 30 more minutes. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet with a little olive oil before coating them with breadcrumbs. This will add a lovely sear and enhance the overall taste.
If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of red currant jelly or substitute it with a tablespoon of Dijon mustard for a tangy kick.
To ensure the chicken breasts cook evenly, pound them to an even thickness before coating them with bread crumbs.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

    My chicken was a little dry, so next time I'll try brining it beforehand.
