  • 1 lemon halved
  • 1 tablespoon of paprika
  • 2 teaspoons of oregano

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  7. Place chicken, breast side up on a baking rack, in a baking dish. Add wine and water to the pan, cover with aluminum foil and bake for a hour.
  8. After an hour, remove foil, continue baking for a half hour or until chicken juices run clear and chicken is fully cooked.
