4/6/2016 2:12:23 PM | Juicy Healthy Baked Chicken Breast The secret to juicy baked chicken…..is to bake for a short time at a high temperature. Baking for just 20 minutes at 450 degrees will result in delightfully juicy baked chicken breast, every time. For Easter my friends wanted me to join them after church at local Mexican Restaurant. Since diet is so important I called the restaurant to see what I could eat. I looked on-line first to see the menu and get a few ideas. When I called the manager got on the phone and indicated he would cook my lunch special ….any way I needed. He says he gets a lot of request and he is finding more and more people have diet issues. Well, when we arrived he showed me their procedures for cooking their food to make sure I would have no issues. I had the best and juiciest chicken I have ever had. Yummy! Great food and friends made this a special Easter for me. Juicy Healthy Baked Chicken Breast Serves 2 Ingredients 2 large (8oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast. 2 tsp olive oil ½ tsp sea salt ¼ tsp ground black pepper ¼ tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp onion powder ¼ tsp dried oregano ¼ tsp paprika Foil Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking dish with foil. 2. Brush both sides of each chicken breast with olive oil, and sprinkle with the seasonings. 3. Bake, uncovered for 10 minutes, flip to the other side, lightly brush again with olive oil and bake for additional 8-10 more minutes, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork. (make a small slit in the thickest part of chicken to ensure done (white color). Thermometer should read 165 degrees F.) 4. Move chicken to platter. Loosely cover with foil and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving. Note: You will need to adjust the baking time to the size of chicken breast. This recipe good for 8oz, but if you use 6 oz then may only set for 8 minutes each side and if use 12oz then 12-15 minutes each side. Enjoy! |
