Baked chicken is a high protein, filling and inexpensive focus of a lunch or dinner dish. Marinating chicken prior to baking will tenderize the meat and infuse it with rich flavor. A milk marinade will create a creamy taste and make the chicken juicier. Baked chicken marinated in milk requires less than 10 minutes of prep time and 30 minutes of baking time to make. The basic recipe makes enough for four chicken breasts.
