SUPER EASY BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS



Super Easy Baked Chicken Breasts image

This is a recipe given to me by a dear friend that I do when it's an hour from dinnertime and I'm too tired to do a lot of prep work. I usually have chicken breasts in the freezer and everything else comes out of the pantry. Great results for how easy it is to do!

Provided by ann1wp

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon bon appetit seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese (Kraft is fine!)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Oil or spray 9x13 baking pan.
  • Pat chicken dry and place in the pan. Drizzle or brush with olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining ingredients in order of recipe.
  • THE INGREDIENT AMOUNTS GIVEN ARE APPROXIMATE! Use more or less to suit your taste and to give a nice even coating of each ingredient on the chicken pieces. I never measure for this recipe, I just eyeball it. Feel free to use any seasoning salt you like instead of the Bon Apetit or substitute your favorite herb for the parsley flakes. You can also add to or reduce the number of chicken breasts according to your family size. I often cook extra to make sandwiches the next day. This is more of a technique to try than a recipe!
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. I usually microwave 4 medium potatoes for 10 minutes and then put them in the oven at same time as the chicken to finish cooking-makes quick baked potatoes. I serve veggies, salad and bread for a nice, easy weeknight dinner.

Tips:

- To achieve a crispy coating, ensure the chicken is dry before applying the breading mixture. Pat the chicken breasts with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. - Use a shallow dish for dredging the chicken. This allows the breading mixture to evenly coat the chicken without creating a thick layer. - For a flavorful breading, use a combination of herbs, spices, and breadcrumbs. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite. - Preheat the oven to the proper temperature before baking the chicken. This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and prevents the breading from burning. - Bake the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly. - Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy chicken.
