4 smallskinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1 1/4 pounds total)
1 tablespoonpaprika
1 tablespoonolive oil
1/2 teaspoonsnipped fresh rosemary
2 clovesgarlic, minced
1/4 teaspoonground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cupdry red wine or water
3 tablespoonsbalsamic vinegar
Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

1. If desired, place each chicken breast half between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to a rectangle 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

2. In a small bowl, combine paprika, oil, rosemary, garlic, and pepper; mix well until it becomes a paste. Rub both sides of each chicken beast half with paste mixture. Coat a 1392-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place coated chicken in prepared pan; cover and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours.

3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Drizzle chicken with wine. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of the chicken registers 170 degrees F and the juices run clear, turning once halfway through baking. (If chicken has been pounded, bake about 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, turning once halfway through baking.)

4. Remove from oven. Immediately drizzle vinegar onto chicken in the baking pan. Transfer chicken to serving plates. Stir the liquid in the baking pan and drizzle over chicken. If desired, garnish with fresh rosemary. Makes 4 chicken breast halves.

Recipe says to coat a "1392-inch" baking pan with non stick cooking spray. Is this a typo ?

Would definitely make this again! I marinated the chicken in the olive oil mixture for the entire 6 hours. It came out moist and VERY flavorful! Uses ingredients that you probably already have on-hand. Drizzle chicken with water... or wine...? Hhhhmmm... is this a trick option? HAHA!! EASY recipe for a beginner like me. ;-)
