Preparation
-
1.In a bowl, combine the red wine, minced garlic, chopped onion, olive oil, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
-
2.Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
-
3.Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
4.Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and reserve the marinade for later use.
-
5.Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until browned.
-
6.Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
-
7.Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Let it rest for a few minutes.
-
8.Meanwhile, strain the cooking liquid from the skillet into a saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and let it simmer until it reduces and thickens into a sauce consistency.
-
9.Slice the chicken breasts and serve them drizzled with the red wine sauce.
