What are the best ways to reduce generation of chimeric molecules during PCR?

The chimeric molecules generated during PCR are really bad for our study on recombination, since the chimeras look exactly like recombination. I wonder what and how (would be better if protocol is...

Is there a way to reduce the interference from genomic DNA on your template-primer pairing?

For example, whether long DNA fragments or shorter ones (such as with restriction enzymes) interfere with the pairing of the primers to the templates of interest with different efficiency or not.
