Say you were to cook some sliced chicken breast, with the slices being maybe about a centimetre (note the crazy European measurement) thick, in an oven at 200 Celcius (and again), how long would you give them? They'll be spaced out, not stacked or anything.
Not long I'd imagine, but they'll be covered in gunk, so it'll be hard to judge how long they're needing, and I'll have other stuff to do. Just need a rough ballpark, and I'll toss in a slice that isn't covered in anything to measure by, but it'll be nice to have a rough idea of time needed.

Kinda need to know what you're putting on them, but it'll probably be somewhere between 35-50 minutes, depending on what's on them.
not really sure.. but that's what i'd be aiming for. perhaps a bit less if you preheat the oven
usually with oven dishes: if it looks edible, go for it. Just pop one of the slices out, cut it open on a plate and give it a look/ taste.
I'd generally not use the 'just taste' approach with chicken, though.
'Get your fucking finger on the wookie'
However, if you're dead set on the oven - I'd say check at 20-25 minutes and cut open a slice.
For comparison, when I make potatoes au gratin in the oven, I stick whole chicken breasts in there (like 1.5 -2 inches thick) and cover them with the raw potatoes and sauce. I only cook that for 25 minutes. So 20 should be enough for just some thin slices with some marinade. Just let the oven pre-heat first and still check for pink, you never know

Basically the above is what I do. When the meat is white and the juice coming out of it is clear (non-pink) you're good to go
I often get this spicy peanut bake mix from a local store. It's like shake 'n bake with a Thai twist, it's really tasty. We'll cut chicken into strips, toss 'em in the peanut bake mix, put 'em on a cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes in an oven preheated to 350F. I'd never put these on the grill, it'd sticky up the grill something fierce and much of the tasty coating would end up under the grill and not in my mouth.
