Dry chicken breast is the worst! I know a lot of people avoid cooking with or eating this really great source of lean protein because of this. Try this recipe just once, and I promise you’ll be sold.
Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (as many as you like)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet so that no pieces are touching.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper (or other herb combination) to taste.
- Bake for 23 minutes, until juices run clear. Internal temperature of chicken should reach at least 160°.
- Remove from oven and cover with tin foil. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Hints & Tips
- Cooking chicken breast at high temperatures for a short period of time helps the meat retain its moisture. (Most people bake chicken breast at too low a temperature and for too long, thus it’s often extremely dry).
- Larger quantities can be made and stored in the fridge in advance for quick and easy salad toppings, sandwich filler, etc. Cooked chicken will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
