Ingredient tips for roasted chicken breasts
- chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts of similar sizes so they cook evenly. In this recipe, I use 5-7 ounces of breasts.
- Oil: Olive oil helps the seasoning stick and helps brown. Any lightweight tasting oil can be used.
- Seasoning: In the recipe below, I used a simple seasoning mixture. You can use your favorite blend to buy or the mixture in the spice cabinet.
Chicken breast seasoning
This chicken is versatile and you can use your favorite seasoning mix such as Greek seasoning, Cajun seasoning or a simple lemon pepper mixture.
Cook: Add the whole mushrooms, slice the onion, slice the zucchini and colorful bell pepper strips, and bake the instant vegetable side dish.
Juicy chicken tips
- Cooking time: My first tip is to make sure the chicken doesn’t cook as it’s very thin. Use a meat thermometer and cook to 165°F.
- Cooking temperature: I cook on high heat to keep the outside brown while keeping the meat tender. Bake chicken breasts at 400°F for 21 to 26 minutes.
- Rest time: Let the meat rest after cooking so that the juice recycles it back into the meat and makes it juicy.
