I think this is the first time I ever baked.

1.5 pounds of chicken breast in a frying pan at 350°F for 35 minutes. Yum. Inhaled it.

If I wrap it in aluminium foil will it be more juicy?

The thing that involves cooking fowl and foil is wrapping the breast area of a full bird (particularly a very large one like a turkey) in foil because white meat cooks more rapidly than dark meat. By the time the dark meat has come up to temp the white meat can be overcooked unless you figure out a way to make it cook more slowly, which foil does nicely. But if you're not doing a whole bird it's not really an issue; chickens might be small enough that it's not really an issue with them either.
