Best 6 Bake Chicken Breast In Oven Recipes

SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat convection oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt and Creole seasoning. Place chicken in a broiler pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from pan. Pour water into the pan, while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add more water if needed to dislodge the browned bits; serve alongside chicken.

BBQ CHICKEN BREASTS IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking pan with heavy-duty foil to make cleanup easier.
• Prepare chicken breasts by cutting off the rib meat if you wish and rinse and pat dry. Leave the skin on. Season chicken with salt and pepper and put in the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until juices start to appear, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove the pan and generously pour 1/2 of the barbecue sauce over chicken. Continue to bake for 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining barbecue sauce and cook until no longer pink in the centers and skin is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more.

JUICY CHICKEN BREASTS BAKED FROM FROZEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Add the mayonnaise, Dijon, parsley and garlic to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the breadcrumbs, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper to another bowl and stir until combined.
• Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Dividing evenly, brush the mayonnaise mixture all over the top and sides of each piece. Top the mayo-covered areas with the panko mixture and press to adhere.
• Bake until the coating is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each breast registers 165 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes.

BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• (Check the label of your chicken breasts. If they have already been pre-brined in a sodium solution, please skip this step.) Fill a large bowl with 1 quart of warm water and 1/4 cup kosher salt. Stir to combine until most of the salt is absorbed. Add the chicken breasts and let them sit in the mixture to brine for 15 minutes, or you can also also cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Remove the chicken breasts from the brine, rinse them with cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a large baking dish*. Brush on both sides (turning once) evenly with the melted butter or olive oil. In a separate small bowl, whisk the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika until combined. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken on both sides.
• Bake for 15-18* minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken breasts, so I recommend using a cooking thermometer to know exactly when the chicken is fully cooked. The thickest part of the breast should measure 165°F. (If you want the chicken to be a little bit browned and crispier on top, you can turn the broiler on high for the final 3-5 minutes of the cooking time and broil the chicken until it is cooked through and golden on top. Keep a close eye on the chicken, however, so that it does not overcook and/or burn.)
• Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the oven, transfer the chicken to a clean plate, and loosely tent the plate with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

JUICY OVEN BAKED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F | 220°C (standard ovens) or 390°F | 200°C (fan forced or convection ovens).
• Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast to 0.8-inch | 2cm at the thickest part. Make sure your fillets are all the same thickness to ensure even cooking.
• Combine sugar, paprika, oregano, salt, powders, pepper and chili (if using).
• Line a baking pan with aluminnium foil (or parchment/baking paper). Transfer chicken to the pan and toss chicken in the seasoning. Drizzle with the oil and rub seasoning all over to evenly coat.
• Bake chicken in preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer. It should be golden with crisp edges.*
• Remove parchment paper. Broil (grill) on high heat during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking until golden and crisp.
• Remove pan from oven, transfer chicken to serving plates and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• OPTIONAL STEP: While chicken is in the oven, melt butter in a small skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant (30 seconds), and remove pan from heat. Stir in parsley, then pour butter mixture into pan juices, stirring well to combine all of the flavours together.
• To serve, drizzle pan juices over the chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

BAKED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
• Place the chicken breast on the tray - if cooking more than one breast, space them well apart. Drizzle a little olive oil over each breast. Season with a little sea salt and black pepper and, if you wish, one of the seasoning suggestions.
• Bake for 16-22 minutes, depending on size and thickness. (Thicker chicken breasts will take longer to cook.) A 150-200g/5½-7oz skinless chicken breast fillet will need 16-18 minutes; a 200-250g/7-9oz one 18-20 minutes; and a 250-300g/9-10½ one 20-22 minutes. If cooking more than four breasts at a time, increase the cooking time by 5 minutes, and don't forget to check that each breast is cooked through.
• If you have a digital food thermometer, test the internal temperature through the thickest part of each chicken breast. It should reach at least 75C. Alternatively, pierce the thickest part of the breast with a skewer and check that the juices run clear; make sure there is no pinkness remaining when the chicken is sliced. If there is, put the chicken back in the oven for a few minutes.
• Leave to rest on the tray for 5 minutes before serving. If serving the chicken cold, pat it lightly with kitchen paper after resting and leave to cool.
