Sauces

• A well-chosen sauce enhances the taste and presentation of baked chicken breasts. Try a simple barbecue sauce for a crowd-pleasing classic at a family picnic or summer holiday get-together. For a more elegant choice, try chicken piccata with a lemon caper sauce. Coat chicken Parmesan with egg, breadcrumbs and tomato sauce topped with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to make gourmet look effortless. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to an internal temperature of 170 degrees.
  
  

Fruit and Herbs

• The sweetness of fruit coupled with herbs and onions gives a rich piquancy that enhances the flavor of the chicken breasts. When the summer berry harvest fills your larder to overflowing with cranberries, blueberries or raspberries, whip up a quick berry sauce to delight family and friends with berry-coated chicken breasts. Another option is to cover the chicken with apple slices, shallots and thyme and coat with balsamic vinegar.
  
  

Vegetables and Herbs

• Juicy chicken breasts and crunchy vegetables complemented with herbs and seasonings appeal favorably to the palate. Scatter bell peppers and onions over the chicken and season with salt and pepper and garlic, rosemary, thyme or basil. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to an internal temperature of 170 degrees.
  
  

One-Pot Meals

• There's nothing like simplicity when you have to do dinner in a hurry. One-pot chicken meals can simplify dinner preparations for busy parents. Distribute onions, bell peppers, carrots, green beans, garlic, mushrooms and potatoes over and around the chicken. Season with salt and pepper or garlic powder. Pour lemon-lime soda or chicken broth over the top and bake chicken in the liquid at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to an internal temperature of 170 degrees.
