I like poached chicken breasts with pesto but you do need to make the pesto in a processor.
You can also make chicken cacciatore with well seasoned chicken breasts and a seasoned tomato sauce mixture with some sauteed veggies in it poured on top.
Bake uncovered at 350 for 35 minutes.

Chicken cooked in wine. Sautee onions circle sliced season chicken with whatever spices you use. Place in a deep pan or shallow pot skin side down for about 20 min. Turn over and let cook another 20 minutes. Pour a bottle of Kedem cooking wine over the chicken. Cover pan or pot , lower flame to super low and let simmer for about an hour and 15 min. Make sure wine doesn't cook out. You can add water if it starts disappearing and it's not finished yet. The chicken will have a nice strong flavor.

Haven't actually made this yet (planning to though) but it looks amazing and I have yet to try a Between Carpools recipe I didn't love!

I think some eat chicken that is “roasted” in liquids as that’s not technically roasting

Some people don't eat roasted meat, but do eat roasted chicken.

The easiest is what mil does- chicken from the soup. I make grape juice chicken. 5 large onions, sliced, sauteed in 4 T oil. Add 2 chickens skinned, and brown. Add 1 1/2 cups grape juice and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Boil. Lower heat. Cook 2 hours.

I thought dry roasting was the issue, this recipe has a lot of liquid.

Seems like it's only 1/2 cup and the skin gets crispy...

(for the record, our Rov, Rabbi Yosef Viener, holds that meat needs to be mostly submerged in liquid for it not to be considered roasted. Your LOR might very well pasken differently. )

I always thought it’s actual Halacha to have plain chicken cooked in some water.
Not baked or roasted and certainly no meat.
Can anyone clarify that?

Definitely not actual halakha. In fact I don’t know anyone who does that.

I have no idea if it's halacha or not, but according to DH if it's his minhag, it's just the same as halacha.

I serve generous portions of baked salmon first, and then bowls of chicken broth with some meat in it. That way no one feels like there wasn't enough protein. For a side, I oven roast or sautee lighter veggies, like mushrooms and zuccini. (B'H, DH lets me have mushrooms!)
