Description

Chicken breasts are breaded and baked with a tangy sauce of red wine, currant jelly, and chili sauce for an easy dish that's fancy enough for company. Great served over rice or orzo.

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup butter, cut in small pieces
salt and pepper to taste
bread crumbs, or as needed
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup red wine
3/4 (12 ounce) bottle ketchup-style chili sauce
1/2 (10 ounce) jar red currant jelly

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Scatter chopped onion and butter pieces into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place bread crumbs into a shallow bowl; season chicken with salt and pepper, and press chicken breast halves into crumbs to coat. Place coated chicken breasts atop onion and butter.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until crumbs are browned and chicken juices run clear, about 40 minutes.
4 Mix red wine, chili sauce, and currant jelly in a bowl; pour sauce over chicken. Bake until sauce thickens and glazes onto chicken breasts, about 30 more minutes.
