I have a domain name that can be entered with or without hyphens and decided to go with the hyphenated version because I it would be better for SEO to have the keywords distinct. I also have the domain without hyphens.

I added the non-hyphenated URL to my hosting as a parked domain and then created a 301 redirect to go to the hyphenated version. I am wondering if there are any caveats to doing this and if there is a better technique. I remember reading that Google doesn't like redirected domain names.

Nope a 301 is the correct way to deal with it.

There's no problem with google using Redirect 301

301 redirection is OK if you have moved your page for permanent.

google have no problem with using Redirect 301.It will very useful when we include any Related keywords in our domain name.

You are fine, but I am not sure if the hyphenated domain is better from SEO stand point, for me I will go with non hyphenated as it is better for my users/brand, I see it also better for search engines.
