How do you keep chicken tender?
Whenever I bake chicken in the oven, it almost always comes out really tough. I've tried wrapping it in foil and putting lemon juice on it, but I still get tough, chewy chicken. How do I keep it tender and moist? Oh, and I'm talking about baking whole chicken breasts.
*edit: Butter and more butter. If you don't like that option try wrapping a quartered apple and onion in with the breasts. The flavor is amazing while staying tender and moist.
Also check your cooking time, don't want to overcook.
