Juicy Oven-Baked Chicken Breasts is an easy-to-cook recipe that yields delicious and moist chicken. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or to entertain guests.
The key to making Juicy Oven-Baked Chicken Breasts is to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This allows the chicken to cook evenly and prevents the chicken from drying out. Be sure to coat the chicken breasts in the seasoning blend and olive oil. This will help to create a crispy and flavourful skin.
To make this delicious dish, here’s what you need:
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts, sliced horizontally,
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano (or thyme, parsley, rosemary)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chilli flakes, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon instant chicken stock
1 teaspoon chilli powder, optional
1 tablespoon olive oil (Optional)
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh chopped parsley
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast to 0.8-inch (2cm) thickness at the thickest part.
3. In a small bowl, combine paprika, instant chicken stock, oregano, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chilli flakes, and chilli powder (if using).
4. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil (or parchment/baking paper). Arrange the chicken breasts on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and rub seasoning all over to coat evenly.
5. Bake chicken breasts in the oven for 15-18 minutes.
6. While baking the chicken, melt butter in a small skillet. Sauté garlic until about half a minute, and remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley, then pour the garlic butter mixture into the baking juices on the baking sheet, thoroughly mixing to combine all the flavours.
7. Transfer cooked chicken to serving plates, drizzle pan juices over the baked chicken breasts and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with a side of salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
The optional step of adding the garlic butter mixture into the baking juices on the baking sheet is a bonus that takes the dish to the next level. Your guests will be impressed!
This Juicy Oven-Baked Chicken Breasts recipe will surely please everyone at your next gathering. The chicken comes out moist and flavorful, with a crispy exterior.
