Marinade it for a few hours in something acidic before baking. I like mixing vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, and garlic. You can also do a google search for "shishlik marinades" and you'll find good stuff.
I have to admit, my technique for avoiding dried-out chicken breast is to buy it pounded flat (sometimes called scallopini) and then cooking it on a grill pan. That way, I can see how cooked through it is and then avoid over-cooking it.0 -
I frequently use a very light coating of olive oil.
Try sprinkling it with parmasean cheese a few minutes before it's done, and it's quite tasty.0 -
Pre-heat oven to 180 celsius
Slice your chicken breast into 2cm thick pieces.
Spray with spraylight olive oil 5 to 10 sprays per breast.
Sprinkle with ground cumin and ground coriander a grinding of black pepper and salt if wanted.
Rub the spices into the chicken. (i use a tablespoon of each spice for flavouring two breasts.
Get a frying pan nice and hot and quickly seal the chicken on all sides.
Then loosely wrap in baking paper, put on a tray on the oven it will need no more than 10 to 12 minutes.
This always comes out moist, and any leftovers work in a wrap the next day.0 -
It's okay to bake the dark meat. Just remove the skin and it is naturally fattier, so will not be so dry on it's own. I save the chicken breast for soup or pasta sauces.0

Thanks for all the suggestions! I can never figure out the best method to cook thoroughly, but not dry out, baked chicken! I will be cooking dark meat as well, as I am not the only person eating. I will be trying these suggestions this and next week. Thanks again!0
