Juicy Oven Baked Chicken Breast

Juicy Oven Baked Chicken Breast

Directions

  • Pre heat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non stick spray.
  • Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even thickness. Drizzle both sides of chicken with olive oil.
  • Combine seasonings and sprinkle generously over both sides of the chicken breasts. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

 

Pound Chicken – Start by using a heavy rolling pin or meat mallet to pound your chicken breast to an even thickness.

Season – Season liberally with special seasoning blend (in the recipe card below).

Bake – Bake for just 20 minutes at 425 degrees F, then let rest for 5 minutes under foil before slicing.

Make sure your oven is preheated to 425 degrees F before baking. Cooking at a high temperature will help to lock in those juices, resulting in tender, juicy chicken every time.

  • 4 to 6 ounce chicken breasts – 18 minutes
  • 7 to 8 ounce chicken breasts – 20 minutes
  • 9 ounce and above – 22 minutes

Remember to use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
