Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, combine the red wine, soy sauce, salad dressing, brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic, and oregano. Stir everything together until the sugar has fully dissolved. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss it around so it’s well coated in the sauce. Transfer the chicken and marinade to a casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Pop it into the oven and bake for about an hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. When it’s done, the juices should run clear—then it’s ready to serve.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines tender, juicy chicken with a rich and flavorful wine sauce. The sauce adds depth and a touch of elegance, making it perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions. It’s a comforting meal that feels fancy without being complicated.
How to serve
Serve this chicken alongside creamy mashed potatoes or buttered pasta to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of steamed green beans or roasted vegetables adds a fresh, crunchy contrast. A simple green salad can lighten the meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the chicken tender. The sauce may thicken after cooling; add a splash of water or wine when reheating to loosen it.
