Sear it or grill it.
Searing = preheat oven to about 400 degrees. When searing, you heat up a little bit of oil in a pan til it's very hot, almost smoking. Gently put chicken in pan...it should make a lot of snappy noises and smell really good. Cook til a light golden brown crust forms, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and sear other side. Transfer to a baking pan and bake 10 -15 minutes, turning once. Chicken should be firm but a little soft when you touch it. I don't use meat thermometers, I just poke it and know when the pressure of the meat feels right. Practice makes perfect...you'll figure it out.

My favorite way to cook chicken breast is on the grill. I usually marinate it in Italian dressing for a few hours, and then pre-heat the grill so that when you put the chicken on the outside seers, and the juices are locked in. Another method is to cook it in a crockpot. But I really think the seering of the outside is the critical piece.

TRIED AND TRUE:
Season chicken breasts w/ salt, pepper, etc.
Bake chicken breasts at 375 degrees for 20-30 mins,
In a baking pan that is a little deeper than normal, that has been sprayed lightly w/ nonstick cooking spray. and carefully fill w/ 1/4 inch water, covered tightly with foil.

brown the chicken in a frypan then put it into a preheated oven and bake for a bit, to check if cooked if poked the juices should run clear (that is just a guide though always make sure chicken is fully cooked before eating)

be sure to add some fluid for the chicken to soak up. Also, don't over cook.

I usually bake my chicken with a good amount of italian dressing. It always stays very moist...even after re-heating.

If you're baking it, keep it covered and make sure you don't over cook it. For barbecue, make sure you sear it quickly and again don't over cook.
