Chicken Braised in the Oven

Tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken that belongs on any table! What won me over about this recipe is that it's made with no added oil and hardly any effort, and the oven keeps all the goodness in the chicken. The meat turns out incredibly tender, but because it bakes in the oven, it holds its shape and takes on a golden crust — so you won't be shy about serving it for a holiday dinner. Pair it with absolutely any side you like: pasta, grains, potatoes, and so on.
