If you like your chicken with a little kick add Crushed Red Pepper flakes.

Prepare your chicken breasts, cut off all fat and wash chicken thoroughly.

Preheat oven to 425°F. Cover bottom of baking dish with foil. Place chicken breast in baking dish. Season breasts on both side with Spanish paprika, onion powder, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and seasoned salt, about 2 tablespoons of Spanish paprika on both sides and 1 tablespoon for the onion powder, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper and seasoned salt (each tablespoon is for EACH BREAST).

If using large breast, wrap 3 pieces of center cut bacon around the breast. Tie the bacon in a knot facing up. (It's all about presentation and TASTE).

When finished, season with Roasted Garlic and Herb on the top of the breast about 1 tablespoon for each breast. For a little kick on your breasts you may also add 1/2 tablespoon of Red Pepper Flakes on top of breasts.

Lastly, add 1 cup of Red Cooking Wine on the bottom of the pan. Cook for about an 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Take chicken breasts out and cover with foil let them set for about 10-15 minutes.

This is really good! I don't always have the cooking wine around but it works and tastes great without it. Sometimes I add a small amount of bread crumbs to the seasonings to lightly bread the outside of the chicken.

What if you don't have "Red Cooking Wine"?

Hi Amanda,

Any red wine will do, in fact, a cheap drinking wine is preferred over a 'cooking' wine. Or even a white wine as an alternative, but the flavor will be somewhat different.

I sometimes use grape juice (not grape cocktail) when the wine has run out, as long as the recipe doesn't specifically call for a dry wine. Another alternative is a small amount of balsamic or red wine vinegar.
