Directions
If you’re like most people, you probably think that chicken breasts are dry and bland. But, with a little bit of know-how, you can make juicy, flavorful chicken breasts that are sure to please your family and friends. First, let’s take a look at how to choose the right chicken breast for your meal.
When selecting chicken breasts, look for ones that are plump and uniform in size. Avoid chicken breasts that have any visible fat or skin. And, be sure to select chicken breasts that are free of bruises or blemishes. Once you’ve selected the perfect chicken breast, it’s time to prepare it for cooking.
The first step is to preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Next, you’ll need to rinse the chicken breast under cold water. Then, pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel.
Now, it’s time to season the chicken breast. You can use any seasonings that you like, but we recommend using a simple mixture of olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Once the chicken breast is seasoned, place it on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
Bake the chicken breast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken breast reaches 165 degrees. When the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into it.
Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
