Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s ready for baking.

- Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are tender and cooked through.
- Thicken the Sauce: For a thicker sauce, remove the cover during the last 15 minutes of cooking, allowing it to reduce and concentrate the flavors.
