  4. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  5. Heat chicken broth, wine, butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts. Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until combined; add to broth mixture and cook until it thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
